Anytime is a good time. You also cannot go wrong with DOA's.

In sand or mud bottom use a rootbeer gold glitter DOA terror eyez, bounce it along the bottom. In grass flats go with the gold glitter shrimp hopping it in and out of the grass.

In both bottoms you can do well with a gold glitter and black back DOA shallow runner baitbuster.

I once had a bad day of fishing, but it was still great!

Two Words

Scented Plastics 

I fish in LA. quite a bit and they are a different fish over here. Most of the time it is not a challenge and some days it is a challenge to not catch them!!!!!!!!!!

I throw rattle traps, crank baits, TW, all the plastic stuff, spoons,spinner baits, you name it I proly got it. (I am a tackle ho)

If you cant dazzle them with brilliance
Confuse them with BULLS##T!!!!!!!!!!!!

Spotremover:  Not sure if you fish from a boat  or from shore,or what style Spoon you use,but I have good luck with a Johnson"Sprite" Gold Spoon`s,I keep several differant sizes for differant Depth`s,if I`m in shallow I`ll throw a smaller one....Deep,a larger one......your trying to work the water from just under the surface down to just over the Grass,at a Med.-Fast Retrive.......Too large,and it get`s into the grass and Foul`s....too small,and it will run across the surface,good for shallow water,but deeper water it will be out of the strike zone.

Like I said, Med.-Fast Retrive,every forth rotation,give it a twitch

Rod-Tip Up........Spoon will run higher in the water colum

Rod-Tip Down......Spoon will run Lower in the water colum

Keep Changing Speed and number of Twitches until you find what they like......I`ve made one cast with a slow retrive,seen three red`s pop thier head`s up to look at it,but no taker`s,only to cast back in the same spot,Rip it back across the Surface,and watched three red`s fight each other to get to that spoon

Wind at your back,long cast`s,cover lots of ground.

Let me know if you fish from a boat,Shore or Wade.......Might have a few spots you can try,I fish the North IRL and South Skeeter Lagoon area.

Set up a drift in the south lagoon. Fish btwn 12-18" of water. Fish bouncing a jig off the bottom with one rod and have another set up with a jerk bait of some sorts. Stay quiet! They've been spooky on the south end. They're all over the flats.

Like Capt. Will said,South Lagoon holds Tons of fish year-round,but with all the traffic,fish will be spooky. The Eastern Shore of the Goon is great also,I like the "Turtle Pen" and " Cucumber Island " witch are almost dew East from the Bio-Lab Ramp.........Work Inside of Sand-Bar to the Shore

Capt. Will is on the water more than I,so if he say`s Jig`s and Soft-Plastic`s.......Do so

Good Luck !
