- Baits: Live Pinfish 1-4" long, Mullet 2"-6" long, Menhaden/Herring 2" to 6" long, fish with a very light egg weight rig for all blue, red and green positions below. 4" baits are the best. Also, shrimp fished with a popping cork rig are highly effective. If bluefish or mackeral are present, use a 40# mono leader.
-
Lures: (see key below) For open areas (red positions) and
against the rocks use crankbaits (4" red/white) and
plugs (silver/chartuese/red-white) or 3" sidewinder/krocodile spoons.
-
For the Blue positions, use weedless spoons, chugging plugs (or non-weedless
spoons retrieved quickly), and (best) soft plastic twitch baits, retrieved
with a jerking retrieve (jerk-wait-jerk-jerk).
Remember not to strike on sight, but wait to feel the fish.
- Tackle: 8lb to 15lb class spinning or baitcasting. If tarpon, jack crevelle, or large stripers are present, 20lb class tackle with 200+yards of line will be necessary.
- Note to Fly-Anglers: A 7 weight fly rod with a 4" streamer or shrimp/crab fly can produce well.
- Timing: Morning, evening, and incomming tides are the times to hit the flats. A cold front will drive the fish off, as will a very windy day.
