If you prefer to catch fewer gafftops and hardheads, use broken crab instead of cut or finger mullet. I also think crab beats mullet for drum and redfish at the jetties. You need a long, surf casting rod to get the bait further into the channel. You also need a good selection of weights including 4 and 6 oz pyramids to hold the bottom. And you will probably break off a lot on the bottom. The big advantage to a boat is you can pick a good spot in the channel and let directly down rather than casting across the rocks on the bottom. A boat also lets you fish the surf outside the channel when conditions suggest this is the better play. Days right before a cold front can even the odds when your location is limited.
