When I get to a new estuary, I like to break things up, Jesse explains, people have their preferences, but I like structure. In particular, I like to identify areas with man-made structure, he continues, but any structure like rock walls, pontoons, pylons, fallen branches and basically anything that supports the growth of mussels and barnacles, has crabs and shrimp and so on is good. I like things that give the bream or the bait their feeding on a home. The bait Jesse is referring to could be any small organisms, ranging from small fish, shrimp and crabs to mussels, oysters and cockles
The stuff sticks like napalm so expect to get burned if it makes contact with any exposed skin
