Slot reds and Specks

I moved to Ft. Morgan from Atlanta 2 years ago and Joined the forum some time back. I am finally settled in and ready to learn fishing the pier regularly. I hope to get there this weekend with my son for some of the spanish action. But my question is regarding reds and specks from the pier. I have been reading where those catching them are finding them in the shallows. Is it best to fish them on the sand bar, or on the beach side.
Also, I get the impression it is not considered a good thing to use floats, so is it best just to carolina rig live shrimp, cut bait etc? I look forward to making new friends at the pier soon (if I can figure out who's who!)

all the specks I have ever caught were closer to the beach on light line(6lb) using a float just before day break. shoot Pier#r a pm, he's the trout whisperer.:D

slot reds can be caught in little lagoon

Fort Morgan Point has been on fire for the early morning Speck/Red bite, just before dawn to 7-8am then it shuts down.
Spoons & Topwaters are killing them.

Is Fort Morgan point considered the bay side down at the Fort?

Guess that cat is officially out of the bag. :)

The whole Point, Gulf and Bay sides.

That Cat has been out of the bag, heck, it has been reported on local Morning Radio shows.

Xactly!
