How can I maximize my chances of finding a Bull Red in Nov-Dec near Rockport?

My first bay fishing trip, as much as I hated it, my guides were very professional and didn’t keep three borderline keeper Redfish. I got a keeper black drum and two speckleds, but I’m craving more. How can I maximize my chances of getting a Bull red if I go back? First time bay fishing ever, but I’ve gathered that they are an edge-oriented fish and I know how to catch A REDFISH, not a BIG redfish. Any tips?
