Yep mainly flats and ditches, we can spot them by the "v" wake that a school of them make and or just watch the baitfish getting airborne trying to get away from them. Our best trip was in September years ago and we had hundreds of these fish all around us! The water was copper/red from all the backs of fish around us man it was awesome. We catch alot of Trout while fishing the flats and we have always used swimbaits (30years or more) funny how that's a big deal with Bass fishing now. Grew up doing this so I can't wait!!
I found that off the pier they where the deeper spieces, if I let my bait sink almost to the bottem I would pick up the reds. I got two real big ones right off the bat the last time I was down there a guy said one was the biggest he'd seen that year, of course I had to break them off because noone had one of them basket type things you use to land them off the pier. so in about 30 minutes i was out 2 of my 4 bait I brought so I kept my bait shallow the rest of the day and brought home my limit of spanish. I can't wait to get back.Chuck
