Cut mullet was definitely the bait to use. we scratched out 4 on spinnerbaits then started spot hopping on the east side of marsh island. Ended up fishing the mouth of a canal catching 4 lb gafftop on shrimp. bait was everywhere, so we threw the cast net and caught some mullet. That softened the gafftop bite, and started picking up a few more reds.
we ended up catching 7 reds, 1 shark, gafftops and hardheads by the bucket... we got spooled twice, lost another shark, and lost at least 4 bull reds. we just couldn't get the big ones in.
