Recommended gear
Light to medium spinning or baitcasting rods with a fast action are ideal. Lures such as soft plastics mimicking shrimp or crab, spoons, and topwater plugs work well. Using braided line with a fluorocarbon leader improves sensitivity and abrasion resistance. Live bait rigs with shrimp or mullet are effective for natural presentations.
