Crankbaiting also trolling those many different style baits from Rapala, Reef Runner and Thundersticks.
Best water depths for trolling and variances of as shallow as 10 to 35 feet of water. Working breaklines and ticking weed tops of still many green weeds of cabbage and coontail.
Jigging and livebait rigs also taking some really nice fish using crawlers, redtail/blacktail chubs, plastics and crankbaits being used casting. Best fishing areas and depths; the upper Bay flats of weeds, sand and mud as well the breakline drops.
Depths varying from 5 to 25 feet of water.
