One of the things I’ve learned from AnglerU that has helped me a lot is that there really is no such thing as too shallow for reds. Thought my kayak might get stuck but was able to sneak into a back lake and found several reds swimming with their backs out of the water. Ended up with 8 reds and 2 trout for the day, all caught on red/white spook jr’s and white gulp swimming mullets. All fish were caught either within 2 feet of the shoreline, or in super skinny water.
