Let it go to bottom, and feel a dot, dot dot.. zing.. and its always a catfish or croaker.
The Croakers are usually about a foot or smaller and ocassionally something worth keeping.
I try to fish 10 - 20' deep.
Is that about right.
And I will try the suggestions you say, but where do you get those bait from.
Mullet and stuff.
You are targeting primarily 'bottom fish' with that set up. And that is what you are catching which is fine. Fish in a little shallower water closer to the banks for redfish and try an oyster reef or some sort of structure for trout. Get that map like Ckinchen said, it is an excellent resource
