Heading to FL

Hi guys/ladies, I am heading to FL mid December and staying until the end of December, I plan on staying in Orlando for a few days Miami for a few days and hopefully the keys for a few days. Can anyone recommend some fishing spots and what gear I should bring? I am from Minnesota so I am mostly interested in species that live in warm water and salt water not really interested in largemouth or catfish etc. I am hoping to not spend a ton of money and dont plan on doing much if any offshore fishing mostly just hoping to fish from beachs and piers and maybe the canals if there is a chance of getting pbass/other exotics at that time of year. Any help of were to go and what to target with what gear is greatly appreciated!

I have been trying to do some online scouting and it seems like Veterans memorial pier will be the first stop can anyone tell me what there will be to fish for there in mid December?
