Outdoors
Captain's corner
Great weather and warm days have held fish on the flats. We still are catching numerous snook and reds in water less than 2 feet deep. Live greenbacks and soft plastic jigs are the desired baits. I like to chum the area with dead greenbacks. There will be casualties in the live well, and I use the smelly things. Slice them into chunks and sling them in the direction you intend to fish. This, with live chum, is irresistible to the fish.
