I just recently got a new boat and have not been having any luck finding fish. I usually put in at Remley’s or farther up the wando. Any help on locations, tactics, and baits would be much appreciated.

Have Patience.
Fish the incoming tide. You can start with bottom fishing then using a cork and then start using plastic, hell try everything. As long as you have moving water and bait of some kind in the water, something is gonna bite. Optiker said best, don’t sit in one place to long.
When I had a boat, I never sat in one place for more than 10 min. even if it meant moving just about 2 or 3 boat lengths from where I started.

Agree with DoubleD. Shrimp and cut mullet for starters. MM is also a good bait as well as finger mullet. Good luck with finding finger mullet.
Key word again; Patience and continue to read info on this site. It has advance/enhance my fishing experience. All these guys use different sources but they all produce.

Colin, I’m new to the area so can’t give you any detail, but have been fishing tidal waters for a long time. One of the best things I learned to do in any new area I fished was to go & take a look as best I can at the waters during the lowest tide if it was possible to get around. Some places you simply won’t be able to get into with a boat at low tide. This will often show you what the bottom looks like with holes or structures that may hold fish and transition areas that fish will travel between these spots. Take notes if you need to, or if you have electronics that can pin point spots, learn to use it. Then go back & fish these areas with the moving tides as others have mentioned.
This time of year you can find schools of finger mullet if you follow a creek almost to its end. They will be bunched in a tight ball. Boat must be able to get really skinny

You would be very surprised how many fish are close to the bank. The key is to cover a lot of distance until you find fish. 10 min max on any spot.
