anyone saltwater fish?

[swaptrex 10+ year member]

i am moving to st. pete, fl in june and would really like to start saltwater fishing while i am living there. i would like to get a small center console boat to take out a few miles, but i don't really know anything about saltwater fishing or boats. i grew up fishing in the great lakes for salmon, lake trout, etc, but i am clueless when it comes to the ocean. does anyone here know anything about the sport, or know some good forums to visit?

yeah and way better fights. i remember once we caught a 4-5' black tip shark but we got it up to the boat and put a 9mil slug in its head before we pulled him on board.

fun times
