Hello all, headed to Destin, Florida the latter half of July, would love to get in a guided trip or two - any recommendations on someone to use or species to target that time of year, appears to options? Thank you, CB

Quick question, just got back into Texas coastal fishing (trout/redfish) and lwill be purchasing new rod(s). Expect to be primarily wade fishing but would be fishing off a boat as well.  Looking at rods with a 6'-2" or 6'-5" length. Would i be giving up something going with one length or the other? Is the shorter the better. or am i overthinking. Thanks in advance for your experience! CB
