Hello Swampy,
Glad to hear you've already been getting out on the water! You are in a great area for fishing, also your in luck there are some very great giudes who regularly post in the Florida boards. I think I would reccomend 2 things.
1) Try your post in the Florida boards (just scroll down this page) there are some top notch guides (that are on the water daily) who regularly post in that board and they are very willing to help.
2) I don't know why I didn't think of this before but there are some really great guides who are very reasonably priced in your area, I would reccomend taken a giuded trip in the waters you like to fish. A good guide will get you started in the right direction in 1 fishing trip where sometimes it might take 10 trips of trial and error to find out whats catching the fish. Don't get me wrong, I have a lot of fun on my trial and error trips too, but I always have more fun when I'm on the fish!
A while back I had been fishing on Peris Lake hear in California and had some success but was invited to go out with a friend and a local giude (Eric Brewer), not only did we catch almost 30 bass before noon we had a ton of laughs a great time, I picked up a couple great rigging techniques, a knot that I still am using today, and the tricks of drop shotting which I was not very familiar with, but also helped on a salmon trip in Rochester about six months later.
Yes, Swampy, go with a giude, you'll have a great time and learn some tricks that will last you a life time!
