Fished down there for about 10 years before RITA hit. Did well on almost every trip we went. Live mullet is the trick. The 2 largest specks I ever caught came from there. (7.0 and 7.2) North wind is the best but the water does not need to be clear to catch fish there. It is entirely different from fishing the rocks, the water gets deeper faster. When fishing a high tide fish between the first and second sand bar, when the tide is out fish between the second and third sand bar.We fished with a 2oz weight on the bottom and a 10" tag line up about 18 to 24"s off the bottom using a 2/0 to 4/0 hook.
I haven't been back since RITA but have been thinking of giving it a try again sometime soon.
