Take a few 6lb light setups and pitch plastics at the docks for spotties.

For 'butts, try drifting the main channel just inside the jetties on an incomming tide.

Good Luck.

thanks bro what size plastics i have alot of different sizes

[michael]

4-5 inch and greens / browns / clear flakes

Start with the 5 inchers and if your getting short bit, switch out to the 4's
