Both have several ramps available. Both have a mixture of shall flats and deep runs. Both offer few stumps to worry about, and both can offer great fishing. Tight lined minnows will remain effective, but the fish are moving shallow and becoming aggressive. Due to this, long line trolling and single pole jigging will become the better techniques in the coming weeks.
Ink, I am leaning towards Wyboo form my first trip. Are there any baitshops along Hwy 260? Planning on launching at C. Alex Harvin III Launch on 260. Probably start looking in the 20-30 ft depth for structure to start in the middle of day and shallower to start the morning. I am reliant on electronics so will need to get out there and see where the marks are. Thank you for the help. Tim
