Live Bait Tip: Hook your baits toward their nose if the current is ripping so they appear to be swimming naturally when getting pulled through the water, and hook baits towards the tail when fishing light current so you can direct the fish to swim away from you towards the structure by simply pulling on the line (see example below for a live mullet)

If you cant get these custom swimmers, the traditional 6- to 10-inch plugs will work, as will large surface poppers or shad bodies fished on jig heads
