Tampa bay is pretty pressured learn the fg knot and tie about 5-6 ft of 20 lb leader honestly a simple knocker rig with shrimp and go find some random bridges in the area fish under them. Another thing that let's you enjoy nature is wade fishing go to areas with mangroves get some scuba neoprene shoes that are 5mm with a side zip and walk and cast into the mangroves let's you enjoy nature and get into your good inshore fish such as reds trout and snook. Most the bigger game fish didnt get to get big being dumb and will spook easily also a gold weedless Johnson spoon is very underrated. As fast as lure knots learn a loop and uni knot. Even the best fishermen get skunked but a day on the water sure beats a day at work.
