Take advantage of high water to quietly explore the far reaches of salt creeks and tide marshes. Scout out areas that have not been over-fished because the low winter tides that prevented most boats from fishing them will be productive because they have had little or no pressure for months. Lipless crank baits or soft plastics, along with a few live offerings, should cover your bait needs. Look for wakes as fish move through the shallows. Casting ahead of and across the path of the fish will usually not spook them and will result in more strikes. For snook, it’s a no-brainer but, for redfish, you must wait for them to eat the bait so as not to jerk it out before it is in their mouths sufficiently. Redfish tend to push the bait up and out in front of them as they try to pounce on it, whereas snook just attack it. Slow and easy puts more fish in the boat.
