The shallow water here holds Bream, Flathead and Whiting. Bream and whiting are best targeted on an incoming tide. Summertime is great to target Bream on poppers in the shallows. Target flathead on an outgoing tide at the dropoffs and small channels formed in the mud. Soft plastics are the go for flathead here.
