I know every fishing hole from Brownville Tx up to Louisiana > The best 2 colors to use was? Yellow and White.. In Speck Rigs, and Red Fish Rigs.. We always carry a casting nets for, live bait. Finger Mullet or Live Shrimp

[@Jacemang_Outdoors]

I hear ya! Ill throw the net from the kayak occasionally, but majority of time I throw artificial.

[@426superbee4]

@@Jacemang_Outdoors Wears Your arm out. he hee Live bait > They hit it just about when it hit the water.. Every thing must be perfect; Under lights at night is best. On a High Tide as well is the best. The school fish must be hungry. On low tides is party time. or sleeping. Cause there not going to bite. Cause there not there . Time i like to fish Right when the tide is coming in up to time its leaving. Then its time for me to go! Tides play the major rolls> for fishing in the Gulf of Mexico 👉👉 Different Months different schools of fish come in and leave. Knowing the time of month and spots is another key to fishing the Gulf of Mexico.. The next key is having the right bait for the fish you want. Most game fish will hit the Specks Rigs, Life Mullet, and Live Shrimp. Depending on what you want to caught. Golden Drum is a Dec. Jan school fish and 1/2 of a dead crab is used. ect ect and so on
