Other Tips:
At the bay, there are white sand spots. Using a hogie with a neon tail, cast into the spots over and over until you get a hit. You'll be sure to load up in a matter of minutes!
In the grassie marsh look for shallow water pockets that go up into the grass. Cast a gold or silver spoon by the opening, if you see movement cast again in the same spot, it is likely that will get a red fish.
With a #2 hook and a small mullet, hooked in the back and the tail cut off, Reds will keep you busy all morning.
