We get lots of Drum, Popeye Mullets and Blue Crab off the dock. We have some nice crab pots we set out with raw chicken neck. I love blue crab. During the spring they collect sound oysters as well. I have never tried any but want to. We have some really nice kayaks that we take all around the sound. It’s relaxing and a great workout.
I have never been out at night but should give it a try and see if I can get anything.

I love night fishing, under the lights off of a dock or pier. Usually you need to be in 4-5 feet of water or more, to get the fish to move in. It's nice and cool at night, nice change from the summer heat and being out in the sun. The bugs (moths, nats, etc) all flock to the lights, hit the lights and usually fall into the water. The minnows, shrimp and other bait will come up to the light and feed on them, it starts the whole food chain in action. Eventually the bigger fish will come in and eat everything, pop the water. Usually it will attract school trout, but i've fished under lights in an bay off the gulf in AL and caught several red fish. You should give it a try. Buy you a set of construction type lights if you don't have anything out there now, i'd wait till at least 11 ock before start trying to fish, so the lights can stay on for a while to get things going then give it a try.
Blue crabs are good. Catch the same ones down here.
So I chased the geese around my property and I finally got about 15- 20 feet away from them and took a couple decent pictures for you.
