If your serious & it sounds like you are. I dought many on here will be giving up "honey holes".
Posting them in an open forum ( like you have done ), even asking for them is won't make you many friends.
General questions are better suited & will get you quick answers. I'm trying to be helpful, so please do not get upset.

I can answer part of your question about other species, Black Drum, Bluefish, Ladyfish, Ribbonfish, Jack Crevels, Pompano, Virgina Mullet ( aka Whiteing ).
Tarpon, Spanish, Kings, Sails, Bonito, False Ablies, Grouper, Amber Jacks, Sharks, Barracuda & Cobia, are all within the reach with your boat ( depending on it's size & your desire ).
Reds & Trout are here year round. Flounder you have covered.

Hope this helps. ........ ICM

no offense taken!

Hire a local guide. Well worth the money. The knowledge you get from a day with a guide will save you time, money, and frustration down the road. You'll learn the area better, what to look for, and what to use.

Any suggestions on guides?

Thanks!

Buy local, they will remember you & try to help with your learning curve.
Start with East Coast Sports, Surf City. Family run business with lots of experience, knowledge & good friendly staff.
And some very good fisherman work there, even seen Capt. Chris catch a fish.
Ask for Chuck, but don't tell him I sent you.

Tackle shops are great places to meet & learn from people with the same interest. .......... ICM

Yep, we already spend quite a bit of money at ECS! Everyone there is great!
