Marsh fishing big tides

Maybe Fish bigger bodies of water, tide will not be moving as fast which could give the fish break from all the current? Only a guess

Ive had some good redfish days in cuts and canals where the water was blasting through. I don't think the reds care much.

Cant help you with specks in any conditions. I'm horrible at catching them

I have fished for specks at the mouth of trenasses emptying into pipelines on big tides. I have done very well; just make sure you have enough weight to keep your bait in the strike zone. Also keep a sharp eye on the water level. I got so distracted catching fish two weeks ago that when I went to leave , I was grounded. I had to leave the boat and jump into the marsh grass and push hard while rocking the boat. The push pole was not enough to get me out.

Deep bends in narrow natural bayou this time of the year.
