IMHO - you will missing out on one of the top Bay fisheries in the WORLD....
Tidelands is MAJOR money $$$$.
i've caught THOUSANDS of spots there in 50+ outings over past decade.
and released every one of them. so there have to be some left there.
I also got one 14 lb Hali on plastic grub, between bridge pilings & moored sailboats, about 5 yrs ago.
my few best days ever @ Tidelands, produced 80-90 bass, in a single day's outing, lasting around 10 hrs.
eel grass is everywhere in Bays, definitley worse in Fall/Winter.
and WAY worse all over MB, than in SDB.
but for Tidelands... get out near the deep channel, where eel grass is typically not as thick or accumulated.
then drift with tide/current, bouncing plastics or gulp shrimp along the bottom.
if you get a good drift set-up, you can work 2 or even 3 rods all on your deck simultaneously.
i've also caught LOTS of smaller spots near the moored sailboats and around the bridge pilings.
but i have always caught the BIGGER bass, and MORE bass, out around the deep channel.
u just have to keep your eyes open for the big military ships, or commercial ships, coming in or out,
because they usually require you to vacate the deep channel for their passing.
