  You will always catch something at the Clearwater and Dunedin reefs. Probably not any trophy fish that you will hang pictures on your wall but grunts, small snappers, and mackerals are usually there. Throw out a flat line as well. If the weather is nice you can head another 10 miles out from Dunedin reef and fish the Rube Allen reef. All of these are public numbers that you can google.

  As far as inshore tips go...
  I'm surprised nobody chimed in yet.
   
  You don't need a trolling motor - but it helps.
  Some of the best fisherman that I've ever fished with will anchor their boats in a shallow area ,then walk and wade fish in a stealthy manner.
  
  You can also use a drift sock and just drift and fan-cast and cover water with white paddletails,new penny gulp shrimp,white gulp jerk-baits, white 1/4th to 1/2oz bucktails, bone or chrome color topwater baits etc.  There's also Tarpon around and with things changing to an Eastern wind as of lately
  there should be some good tarpon fishing(I would assume).  
  As far as inshore fishing and other species go in the Pinellas county area in general - it's been great.
  You can catch just about all inshore species off the beaches in the early mornings(first light to 9AM'ish).
  Afternoon you can find big trout on the deeper grass flats etc...
  Any place with shade in the inner-coastal can also be good.
  Mangroves at high tide and around bridges and passes with moving water.
  
  Also nigh fishing should be decent too.
  Anywhere around lighted docks,bridges etc... should hold very active fish.
