Productive fishing locations are often associated with specific underwater structures and features. Deep channels that run through the lagoon are prime areas, especially where they bend or constrict. Drop-offs from shallow flats into deeper water, points of land extending into the lagoon, and areas with submerged vegetation or woody debris attract holding fish. The regions closest to any tidal inlets or ocean connections are consistently worthwhile, as they see the greatest movement of both bait and gamefish.
