So in the last two weeks. I have thrown everything I own at reds around topsail. Live bait cut bait. Bottom rigs. Popper corks. Spoons. Spinners. Voodoo shrimp. Gulp. Mullet. Shrimp. Mud minnows. Not sure what they're called, but they look like mini striper a with a sucker mouth. Ones that look like the last ones except they have vertical stripes. Not horizontal.
I have a kayak. Fished mud flats. Sandy shallows. Oyster beds. The inlet. I've been in the skinniest water around the north side of topsail. I live on N topsail so at least I haven't been wasting diesel. But man I am just at my whits end. I'm from Louisiana and I have yet to figure these reds out around here. I haven't seen any tailing. I am usually around tons of bait fish. I think I have seen reds chasing bait. But when I cast there. I turn up with a crab. No fish. I spend a lot of time in the marsh on back side of n topsail. Just because I see the most bait there. I haven't really fished any deep water.
I was was just hoping for tips or leads on how to find the reds. Or spot them. Then what to feed them. Anything because I'm almost done.
