I have lived in Florida my whole life and fish very often. My suggestions are as follows for general all-purpose beach fishing.

Beach gear:

Rod: Medium weight 7 feet or better for casting long distances.

Reel: 12-20 pound capable saltwater rated. Check this out for a cheap option:

Line: I would stay around 12 lb. test anything more is a bit overkill. I have caught tarpon, snook, reds and spotted trout all on the same day on the same rod no problem. (They call that a grand slam)

Bait and Tackle:

Two categories Live and Artificial.

I suggest artificial lures to avoid unwanted catch like catfish:

Mirrolure suspended twitch bait. My favorite all time beach killer.

Soft plastic jerkbaits with jigheads are universal inshore and off. Red jighead with white clear water, green back and silver for murky.(Sometimes called slimy slugs around here and used with what's called the Florida Jig motion)

Florida Jig tutorial:
Raise rod quickly to vertical
Reel quickly downward.
Repeat until all line is retrieved.
Do not let lure hit the bottom.

Gotcha plugs are heavy and cast FAR (again using the florida jig motion above) great for inlets and passes too. Moves fast is heavy and looks dumb but works very well.

Gold spoons. (bright day clear water conditions only).
Link: you know what a spoon is.

Live bait:

Circle hooks in 1/0 size will catch most anything inshore.

Weights depend on your rod and reel combo but a 1/4 - 1/3 ounce egg weight should be plenty for casting.

Rigged thusly (bead not required): https://www.google.com/search?q=slip+sinker+rig&oq=slip+sinker+rig&aqs=chrome..69i57j0l3.2457j1j9&client=ms-android-mpcs-us-revc&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8#imgrc=BQxoB1MK_djC2M:


LIVE shrimp is always the best bet for catching just about all Florida inshore sport fish and can be bought everywhere. Once they are dead it is catfish food. Hook'em through the horn. Cast and drag. Don't let it sit too long. If you have a grass bottom try a popping cork to keep it up off the grass.

Pilchards or "green backs" the bigger the better. Great bait for all inshore fish, but fragile and harder to find unless you have a cast net. Again, if it is dead it is catfish bait. Hook them carefully through the nose and cast them gingerly. Once dead, use another.

Sand fleas: you are from Canada, do you really think you are gonna find sand fleas? Maybe dead from a package at wallmart, but good luck sifting them at the beach. Not recomended.

Pin fish are good for a specific purpose and specific species. Unlikely you will catch much on the beach with them, but who knows. Not recommended.

Use the above you will catch something, no doubts.

That's not an accurate understanding of the book, but maybe you'd like this one more https://www.amazon.com/Asshole-Rule-Civilized-Workplace-Surviving/dp/1600245854 - my only disagreement with the book is the part that labels people assholes where their behavior is "assholeish."

That's an overgeneralization which the first book addresses. The concept of "status slaps" are described in the second book which calling someone an asshole is an example of. Better to say, "Your behavior is rude, belittling towards others, disrespectful of human dignity" etc. and avoid labeling the person since most people are also capable of kind behavior.
