inshore/nearshore question

Hey guys. Usually fish 'round Chas harbor and Wadmalaw but occasionally put in at Cherry point. I catch bluefish and the occasional lady for kicks in Chas harbor and have tried to replicate this a few times around Deveaux but just can’t get it to click. I’ve managed a couple of blue dinks but nothing to speak of. Any hints? I have tried the north side of Deveaux and occasionally around the seabrook point with grubs and the fly, mainly outgoing tide. Do I need to go outside of Deveaux along the cans? Are they on the other side of that shallow water in front of seabrook? Thanks.
