I'm fishing coves and creeks with mud flats. I find any structure or depth contour difference and fish it. When I'm searching for fish I slowly pull (.5 mph on the terrova) 4 rods with 2, 1/16 hair jig flies tipped with a minnow under a float. Each float is set at a different depth in order to cover a wide range in the water column. Once I locate fish I start casting to them and slowly work the float back to me. Some days they like a slow steady retrieve, some days they want a twitch on the retrieve and other days they want the float to remain dead still.

The best advise that I can give anyone is to keep a journal of each trip. It lets you see what has and has not worked.
