Target Structure

Focus on structure, cover, and areas where fish naturally congregate. Local guides can provide valuable insight into the best spots.

Bait Selection

Live shrimp and mud minnows are producing well. For artificials, try soft plastics in natural colors worked slowly along the bottom.

Tide Strategy

Fish the last two hours of outgoing tide and first two hours of incoming for best results. Moving water is essential this time of year.
