don't know what kind of boat your heading out in but i've been hearing specs being caught at the rigs right outside of there. I'd throw artificial. Either some glow/chartreuse sand eel jrs, or some lsu or opening night bayou chubs. Try under popping corks first then I'd put either 1/4 or 3/8 jig head and tight line them either on the bottom or suspending. Just gotta find out how they are holding

no rigs for me...all I have is a 15' weldbuilt w/a 40 yammy...If I can get some good spots and learn this I may be looking to get a cc boat...but thats if its worth it....been kinda lookin at prices but thats a long way's away...

With a cork.........Some days 18" is best, other times 3' works better.

Live shrimp are good to use, but cast netting small bait fish [shad, mullet or croaker] can work just a well.

"Popping the Cork"......some times it takes a lot of popping [maybe 3 times in a row, then let it sit for 5 seconds and repeat]. Or maybe pop it just once every 10+ seconds. You just have to figure out how the fish like it that day.
