For bait fishing you cant go wrong using fresh bunker chunks or fresh clam fished on the bottom on a fishfinder rig with at least a 5 ounce or more pyramid weight.

Poppers at first light switching over to diamond jig / tube combos,assorted tins or bucktails as the sun climbs higher.

Night fishing youll do well learning to use needlefish and darter plugs by SUPERSTRIKE. Also the past few years Daiwa SP minnows have been working very well as they cast far with a slim profile and of course bucktail / pork rind combos are a time tested go-to lure.
