Bunch of dumb questions - thanks!

Thanks for the input all. The articles by Steve Soule were helpful - gives me a starting point. I should have mentioned that I am an inland fisher and don't know much about fishing salt water - so I don't know what a "ttf" lure is and I don't have any favorite plastics except for bass fishing - which I understand can be used. What's a "Corky's"?

Google it-use "Paul Brown's Corky Lures". TTF is Texas tackle factory. Much of your bass stuff works in salt-especially the bass assassins. Your biggest issue is running aground on reefs and sandbars-you oughta hire a guide to show you around some. Much is the same as far as fishing-look for drains, structure, drop-offs, changes in bottom from sand to mud/shell-redfish are very similar to bass as far as where to find them.
