“Using Wedgetails under popping corks allow you to better

work the middle depths of the lake.”

The anglers also cast the soft plastics without corks.

“Sometimes we allow it to sink until it reaches the bottom,”

Broussard said. “Using that braid, we can feel whether we’re on

shell or mud.

“We prefer to find a good shell bed, and we’ll stay in 2 to 6 feet

of water near it most of the time.”

When fishing the jetties leading out to the Gulf, the anglers

change lures to adapt to the submerged, rock structure habitat

on the east and west sides of the channel.

“Along the jetties, we’ll throw mid-diving crankbaits — round

(billed) ones as opposed to square-bills so they won’t hang up so

often on the rocks,” Frederick said. “We will also use 5-inch Wed-

getail Mullets as opposed to the 3 1/2-inch version, and cast them

on 1/2-ounce Egret Baits’ Beer Belly jigheads.”
