longtime wading angler just bought bass tracker pro v 185 looking for tips / will be fishing from bayport to grindstone city / hope to fish the lighthouse reef soon pt austin with tube baits / gobe imitations /anybody have any tips / thanks

Charity Island is normally great ( In Pre spawn is is like the end of the rainbow.)also front side of gull island if you can take the noise of the gulls. Crank baits off the rocks work well. Au Gres point is another great spot for small mouth. Tubes, spinnerbaits,chatterbaits all work well. Hope it helped some. Grew up fishing Walleye and Salmon in the bay and use to hate the small mouth, cant get enough of them now.Funny how things change.
