One thing to consider, after all of the books, & Internet sites, & How-To Manuals, & Shows, S-B Get-Togethers, etc... You really may want to consider an instructional shore guide service. I personally would recommend
Bill & Juls Shore Fishing Guide Service as they do theirs as an instructional session and not a haul as many as you can to take pictures service.
They may also be doing a couple seminars at the MSBA show coming up in March and you may find it very interesting too.
Otherwise, time, time, & more time

- and you are always welcome to come fish with us
