Try fishing along the dropoffs. Water up near the bank usually is fairly shallow and out 50 to 100 feet it drops off to 8 to 15 feet deep.

Water temp. was 89 to 90 F a week ago in the Prien / Saltwater barrier areas. In a few weeks, the water should start to cool off some and the fish will start move into the shallower water.

Soft plastic baits fished on a 1/4 oz jig head or live bait should catch a few Redfish or flounder and maybe a speck or 2.

Some areas have old stumps under water along the banks, so you can expect to get hung-up sometimes.
