Specs are starting to turn on in the lakes on the reefs and points. Don't be afraid to move around in search of clear salty water. Also still plenty of bigger fish to be caught near the cost along islands and rigs/platforms.

Soft plastics on the twitch retrieve or under a cork. If you fish deep passes for bulls just soak a crab. I like the matrix shad shrimp creole, limbo slice and green hornet for the plastics. Good luck

The fish are probably transitioning from the marsh to the barrier islands about now. I would target oyster reefs and shell pads on the northern ends of the larger bays and lakes. You should be able to catch plenty on swim bait, sparkle beetles and cocohoe minnows worked around the reefs. It's a bit too early to fish the birds but if you see any action around the reefs the specks are probably there too. I always find it hard to find the fish during the migration but if you find a reef holding them there will be a lot there.
Just my 2 cents

Thanks for the advice. We did fairly well. 10 reds and 5 trout and 16 sheep head. Had a blast. We fished bottom using matrix Shrimp Creole. Could have used a couple more trout but hey! we had a blast!! thanks again!!
