Fun fact if the day: It is illegal to use treble hooks with live bait in the state of Florida.

I think that is the case in MS as well. There are different kinds of live bait fishing. If it is me, a buddy and some live bait on the beach, I will throw out a couple of shrimp/croaker (or ideally pogie fresh from the cast net) on simi-circles and throw them on the sand. Then we will work bait on khales or artificial around the boat. Fish will hook themselves on the semi-circles.
