I am supposed to go on a short bay fishing trip in the lower laguna madre with the church this weekend.I will supply my own gear and was wondering if you had any tricks up your sleave for this type of fishing?
thanks

The Game,


If you wade:

Be sure to take a long a Mansfield Mauler. Rig it with a drop no shorter than 12", but no longer than 24". I normally put a 3/8 or 1/4 ounce head under a mauler. The plastic I would use on it would be a Norton Sand Eel in limetruse, purple w/chartruse tail or the glow-in-the-dark. Next bait I would use would be the 1/8oz head with the same colors without the mauler and never enter the water without a gold spoon. You might consider the Johnson Silver Minnow because it's weedless. Last but not least a couple Top Dogs/She Dogs in blackw/chartruse head and the chartruse belly and back with silver sides.

From a boat:

Go with the longer drop on the mauler. Go with the heavier heads. Keep the spoon handy. Unless you are drifting shallow water forget the top water baits.

The best tip I can give you is to listen to any local advice you get on hot baits.

Good luck, I hope this helps.
