Nice, but I would go with less hooks, more lures and flies....there are really good wet flies(shrimp and crab patterns) for bonefish/ surf fishing as well as any trout, a small silver blue fox spinner has caught many species for me here in canada and costa rica and mexico.
Those micro jigs are awesome rigged from a bobber with some bait, twitch em to get the tail working now and then, make sure the knot is not inline but at the top of the eye so the jig stays level and looks like its swimming/natural. If there are waves you don't have to move it much at all.
Weedy areas I will always fish a lure/spinner/fly behind a bobber so I do not snag bottom or get fouled close to shore.
A really good way to improvise a bobber is "Brads backwoods bobber" I mentioned a couple years ago.
Cut a few pieces of surgical tubing a half inch. Whittle a stick with tapered ends to fit the tubing, run your line through 2 and snug them top and bottom. No line abrasion or kinks and you can slide it up and down to adjust. If you have to get out there use a big stick.
Great thread man, fishing is a fever worse or equal to knives for me.
