We were using cut mullet on the bottom with a 2-4 oz sinker (depending on tide). We were reaching the slope of the main channel 20-40 ft down. Never got a good enough look at the bait to identify what it was at this location, just knew it was bait because of the birds. Lots of menhaden around though, as we got a good look at a bunch a day or two later at the beach.
Water may not be clear enough for a fly to work, especially with the ferry constantly stirring up the water. In deeper, muddy water redfish are keying on scent rather than sight.
