Despite the slow moving tides we experienced prior to the May 14 full moon, fishing the shallows has been fairly productive.
I found during these incoming tides that redfish, trout and catch-and-release snook were readily responding to free-lined shiners on our hooks. Also, most areas where I searched for fish contained at least two of three features — turtle grass, mangrove islands and oyster bars. Combining any two of these with a good moving tide is a fishing recipe for success.
