Hello again, I posted a few months ago asking about the fishing in and around St Andrews State Park got some great pointers and advice, I was just curious as to any updates on the fishing conditions? We don't have a boat but might look into a charter if we don't have much success from the beach pier or jetty.
We will be leaving Michigan and heading down May 3rd till the 10th and was wondering what the hot bite will be and what to be prepared for.
Gotta make this a trip of a lifetime for her or else I can kiss the chance of any exotic strictly fishing trips goodbye.
Anyone that has any general fishing areas or bait/lure types would be greatly appreciated. Not trying to steal any secrets unless you care to share but would love to get her excited about fishing. Is topwater an option in the surf, I feel like getting her to see the action will get her hooked. Thanks for taking the time to read this and I will be sure to post our success once we get back.
Thanks again!

Tell her before hand that if she feels bored or wants to quit for the day to speak up. Leave when she wants.
Mix in some sightseeing/crusing in. Women tend to enjoy fishing more if broken up with some cruising.
Do what you can to not get skunked.
Amanda "Ahhhhh"
Me "Do you have one on?"
Amanda "I don't know.... AHH YES!"
Me "Good job babe"
Amanda "Oh no the hook went through its mouth I feel bad.... Can we eat it?"
I cant wait to see how she handles some saltwater fish, hope all is well down there!
That's great!! Reminds me of taking my wife fishing for the fisrt time when we started dating......bass fishing on the Tennessee River in Knoxville. She screamed at the top of her lungs when a fish finally bit & I was afraid she was going to throw the rod in the water when fish pulled on the line. It scared her to death & she too didn't want to hurt them. It was hilarious!! She's much better at it now; although not up to the saltwater stuff due to motion sickness.
Your girlfriend will do great & y'all will have a lot of fun.
