With the changing water levels nothing is like last winter. You can basically go were the water enters the wash. Coves hold most of the bait even Government wash area.
Now....how deep to fish and what depth to put the bait.
Right now depth of water doesn't really matter. We fished off Sand Island drifting from 150ft to 30ft of water.
In the deeper water 30-60 feet held suspended fish.
Now for the number one, got to have fish hack.....
How to get to the fish depth without a line counter. Set up with a Carolina rig with a 1 ounce weight. Let the line drop down in the water column. As it drops count 1, 2 , 3, 4, 5.......14, 15 stop you are at 30ft. This technique drops a bait about 2ft per count, not per second but a count cadence. (as if you were asked to count to ten in hide and seek )
In shallower water around 75 feet or less, drop to the bottom and reel up. You will get about 2ft per turn of the handle.
