I am searching for seasoned advice on Reds for this time of the year. We will launch in the Colleton River Saturday and welcome any tips on where to look for them now. Bait selection? shrimp or mudminnows, pogies, etc? Outgoing or incomming tides? Thanks Bob

You can try sight fishing with artificials such as gulp shrimp or jerk shad. Incoming tide fish cut mullet right in the edge of the grass as the water rises into it... Fish will follow the tide into the grass to feed. You can also try casting a gold spoon in the sparse areas of grass and work it back to the boat. Stop in and support a local bait and tackle shop pick yourself up a hot spots map. Patterns can change daily so you gotta figure out what is working that particular day. Spring fishing can be tough... Good luck!
Thanks Guys; I have yet to be able to figure them out. I always seem to find the small rays and sharks but never my target species. I guess that's why it's called fishing and not catching. I still will enjoy a day on the water with my son and that alone is enough.
