It's summer time, it's hot, fish deeper reefs and flats near deep water (AKA the channel and cuts). Chase birds. Learn the fish, locate bait and have some moving water.
Reports with locations aren't going to hook you up unless you go the very next day and are there at the exact time and even then it's not guaranteed.
I fished with a guide 2 weeks ago on Sunday, hammered out good trout that evening pretty quick, storms came through and full moon hit and he game changed the next day. Those spots that had produced for 2 weeks steady were dead, and stayed dead the whole week! I spent 7 days on the water fishing twice a day and plunked away at fish.
I ended up lucking out on an afternoon bite when the tide moved a little, and if we wouldn't have broken all the rules and chunked top water because we saw some toilette bowling on top then we would have left that slot too and scratched it from our minds - we threw everything and not a single bite, someone said throw a top water... Nope, it's 90 degree water, super shallow, heat of the day. My buddy said screw it and tied on a super spook and went to work on 18" fish and up - that spot produced for 3 days while people passed us up and smirked because of what we were doing and where we were fishing. Day 4 killed the bite, tides got hung up and we're all off from where they should have been. What's even worse is any other top water wouldn't get bit, and even the superspooks had to have chrome, no other color in my boat those days got a bite
A weekend warrior has to go in with a solid game plan and be ready to adapt, you can fish a spot and be 1 hr ahead or behind the tide, and move all day long without doing anything while others catch. That week we had 3 boats on the water, one would hammer out some trout on the beach after sitting for an hour waiting, and the other two would high tail it down there within an hour or so and the water dirtied and the conditions were gone... They literally drifted east to west along the shore for 2 miles, and by the time I got down there and left my little bite the conditions changed and the boat was getting sucked north into the beach...
W or Adams could post coordinates today and without the exact time they caught and exact water conditions I would have zero confidence fish would be there by Saturday, those conditions will likely not exist anymore with our wether patterns and tide fluctuations.
Find bait, find action, find water moving, find a ledge near this and work the depths to find where they are holding. You cast and work the ledge, your buddy crow hops to the flats nearby and watches for any slicks, birds working, bait moving and so on - you'll either get bit or see something further away that tells you to go check it out.
The cards are stacked against you as a weekend warrior, hell they're even stacked against guys on the water all the time - stuff changes quick. Guides have the benefit of water time, hella experience, and a network of other boats to call on if things get dire; but don't think for a second those guys are hammering every single day, they struggle too but you just don't see it.
