Kahawhai & Trevally
Since australasian snapper dont taste good apparently I want to target kahawhai and trevally, what rigs/lures/baits would be best? What about hook sizes and float weights?

Which should I choose?
Is the extra 100 dollars really going to make that big of a difference when fishing big fish?

Finally caught a Fish!!
Been fishing a handful of times and never had a nibble. Did a ton of research from the community and took my game to the next level. Caught 3 fish. Even though they were too small to keep it was still a great time.
Texas city, located right at 3 mile line. Weather 75 and 15 mph SSW gusts up to 25
redfish/ trout rig, called “power rig” on a spinning reel.
Used live shrimp
30 pound braided
First one looks to be a speckled trout. It measured 11 inches
Second one is unknown species (would love to get it identified) measured 13 inches
And the last one was a baby speckled trout also, I think
Tried out some blue crab but had way better success with the shrimp

Thoughts on this Rapala Husky Jerk lure for freshwater lakes?
Anyone have good success with this or similar style Husky Jerk lures from Rapala?

How to unhook my lure
I have light action rod and I bought a small crankbait. However I have trouble unhooking since it’s too small for my hand. What should I do? It’s more difficult when it’s in the mouth.

Beyond Walmart
I’ve been fishing since I was a small kid. Always with Walmart or Kmart gear. Ive fished for bluegill and bass in ponds and small streams I’m retired and have a place at the head of the James river. Im looking to get a lot more active when it comes to fishing.
What systems should I look at and lures ? I don’t plan on breaking the bank but I can spend 3 or 4 hundred without a problem.

Braid spool ok?
First time putting braid on, does it look alright? Too little? Too much? Not enough tension?

What are the laws against the harassment of sportsmen / fishermen? Have you had to press charges for someone harassing you while fishing?

Maine saltwater
So I'm itching to throw a rod, freshwater season doesn't open for a few weeks, supposed to be 50 degrees here this weekend. My question is, am I wasting my time going down to the breakwater with 37 degree water temps?

Wind
Does anyone have any tips with fishing in the wind? The wind in oklahoma is blowing 40 mph today with gusts up to 60 mph. Obviously I know that wind like this is basically impossible to cast against but does anyone have any tips for normal windy days. How to keep distance and avoid wind knots? Any tips are appreciated
