**Sunny Bay today: fish chances are solid if you tailor to early winter patterns.** 🐟🎣

**Species to target today**
- **Striped bass (rockfish)** along channels, bridges, and working structure. These guys are often estuary-bound in early winter; look for moving water and breaklines.
- **Flounder (fluke)** on deeper drops and soft bottom near channels; use a bottom rig or small jigs.
- **Redfish (red drum)** or other drum species near structure in brackish zones; slow-twitch plastics or live bait can bring bites.
- **Bluegill or other panfish** around docks or cover where fresh water pushes in; light tackle with small jigs or live bait works well.

**Tactics for early winter**
- If you’re on a boat: drift live bait or cut bait along channel edges and drop-offs in the 6–25 ft range. Use 1/4–3/8 oz jigs with soft plastics for targeted species.
- If shore-based: cast around pilings, docks, and weed edges with weighted soft plastics or use a float with live bait to reach deeper fish.
- Slow down post-front: fish often hold tight to structure or move deeper; be patient and work the edges.

**Weather and season notes** (early winter)
- Cooler water = more lethargic fish; bite windows tighten to dawn/dusk or just after fronts. If a cold front just passed, wait 1–2 hours after the front before fishing active spots.
- Tidal movement matters: target moving water near channels; tides can push bait and predators into feeding lanes.
