Been there, done that. Nothing worth fishing for that will bite. Puffer fish, crucifix fish (UGly), long skinny fish with long mouth full of needle sharp teeth, mullet (which won't bite, must be netted and are nasty unfit to eat), drum (which snap lines and poles). Did see a woman catching crabs. I thought 'what is she doing?' She had a chicken leg tied to a big string and was throwing it out a short distance. After a bit, she pulled the line in and crabs clung to the chicken leg! She had a 5 gal. bucket full in a short time. Good eating and looked easy. Try that. If you want fish, try the river. Watch out for 'gators! They're everywhere there is water except the bay.

i'd try getting some small baitfish like herring or anchovies and just dangling it in the water.
