Question About Worm Fishing
I use worms that float. A lot of them sink and lie flat on the bottom. I like to see that tail/back half of the worm float up. ( I test them in a pool) Normally I use 3/16 or 3/8 ounce slipsinkers. Pitch it out, pull some line out let it sink. Watch for a tick or movement in the line for a pickup. If no fish, I ease it forward a foot or so, but not by lifting the rod, but by a small sweep sideways, you can still keep your rod tip high. We use to say that the "bouncers get the ouncers, draggers get the braggers". I don't think you are missing fish on the fall. They'll hang on to it. Now you do have to set the hook though because you can pull it out of their month. I have caught bass bouncing and dragging, but I like to drag or glide it with that floating tail like it's feeding along the bottom. Now flipping is different, but just pitching it to visual structure that's what I do.

Whats The Difference/purpose Behind Flipping Hook And Non Flipping Hook.
I use 3/0 and 4/0 Tru-Turn Hooks for Flipping, pitching, worming. I will use wide gap if I am flipping and pitching a Fluke. Hadn't had any problem with hooks, color of worm yes, but not the hooks!

Also there are a lot of ponds/lakes in the towns and cities that can be fished from the shoreline. you won't have any trouble fishing florida. Bring plenty of plastic worms!

Soft Plastic Organization Tips?
I too use zip lock bags. May dump a couple of packs of the same plastics in it and store them in my boat tackle locker. I use maybe 3 to 4 colors and can put a handful of them in seperate smaller ziplock bags and drop them in with my rods in my rod locker so they are handy.
