I always try to have at least two rods out both with a pompano rig.on each. One rod close and the other out further. I use fishbites in sand flea and shrimp flavor and will also use live sandfleas. If you wanna target bull reds catch a lady fish and cut off 1 inch chuncks and use for bait, but make sure you have some stouter gear for bulls from the beach like 30-40 pound mono leader and a good circle hook. I hope that helps.

JGONTX looks for breaks in the sand bar where water is running back out into the ocean. Also any deep holes you can see from up high on the beach. Main thing is to have baits out at different distances so you have more of the area covered where fish swim up and down the beach.

Early morning and evening are fine to fish but if you want to fish all day you will have to search out more secluded beach areas. But this time of year he bite usually drops off after it gets to the hot part of the day so maybe stick to early morning and eveniing or night so you dont have to deal with a crowded beach.
