Thread: 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.

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.

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!
...and it's not just @ Ft Morgan either ;-)
