Where are some good spots to fish in east bay ? I have gone mostly to the south shoreline arond Kain Cove and waded but dont really have any luck. Also how do you find some reefs in the middle of the bay ? What do you look for? I have heard that the north shoreline has turned on also . Where would be the best place to wade ?

Can anyone help?

Do you want to wade or drift?..Got a Hook n line map?

 

[saltyoperator]

Mostly wade and I have a map just cant remember which one. Its one of those from wal mart I think.

 

[NurseD-bait]

we do alot of drift fishing..but I've seen alot of waders on 3 Beacon there is PVC poles marking the area

When drifting what do you look for? Birds , slicks ??

 

[NurseD-bait]

well we have a GPS so that helps alot..but we also look for birds and slicks..I also recall alot of waders working the left side of OLD GULF CUT by Left side I mean coming off the ICW into the bay..if you were looking at a map the right side of the cut...

I would think that Bird Island could be worked on foot I know that you have to be VERY CAREFUL with a boat around there LOTS OF REEFS VERY SHALLOW...

Is there any maps online to view that anyone knows of?

Hook & Line Maps help a lot. They also show you when and where to fish. You can also get all of the better known and reliable fishing spots loaded into your GPS from Angler-Products.com

Well I dont have a GPS and haven't hardly used one . What would be an economical and user friendly GPS to get for my new boat? Something that I can plot maps so I can run in early morning light and get to where I want to go . Also to load good spots !

East matty is a shallow mud hole.
If the wind is over 12 mph it's ugly.

It's got some big fish and lots of schoolies.
South shore is great if you can find good water.
Floating grass can be an issue.
So rattling corks and tails works well or weedless spoons.

Drifting midbay reefs is very productive: half moon, drulls, 3 beacon or in front of st mary's. All these are on maps.

Wading N shore is good on tops and tails.
Big sand flats.

Drowning bait at intersections of N shore and ICW is also very productive.
Due to the fact several are not deep enough.
