hmmm thanks......my tube is just a tube......i dont have anything on it like rod holders, bait well, or gps....so what do you suggest i do?

i guess i cant use live baits so swimbaits it is. Do i let them drag on the bottem? or slightly off? also what should i look for when im fishing.....i mean shoudl i fish in open places, next to the jetty or near boats? thanks again
