Sea shore fishing question, please help, beginner in distress?

Sauce S asked:


Hello, today I went out to Key Biscayne in Florida to go fishing at the shore, it was a little fishing spot they had all the way at the end of the key. Anyway, I noticed that almost all types of non boat fishing have a bunch of rocks at the shore.

I was fishing with a 20 pound line and a reel rod, using a weight and hook only. I threw my line out about 50 feet or something, and reeled it a little and just stood there.

My problem was, after a while I noticed that my line ended up at the shore, when I went to go reel it back in, bam… it got stuck on rocks (about 9 times in 2 hours).

My friend says he doesn’t really fish in the sea, but I probably should have been using a bobber so the hook wouldn’t be on the ground. Can you guys please give me any tips? (I might have been throwing my line out further than 50 feet, just FYI.
Also note, I am not looking to catch any specific types of fish. I just want to catch something that’s edible, and doesn’t taste bad. I wouldn’t mind catching anything truthfully, going home empty handed is no fun.
My fishing pole is exactly 7 feet including the handle if this matters any.
Edit again, Fishing Rod* with Reel.
Do I need a fishing bobber or something? I imagine the hook is on the ground the entire time without one, do I need one to catch a lot of fish?
