Seawall / Bulkhead: Specific holding spots

Check wall corners and wall toe separately

Bass may pin bait right on the shade edge, or hold on the rubble at the wall’s toe; outside corners also alter current. Search along the shade line first, then drop to the wall toe; where shallow walls don’t offer depth choices, compare the next deeper adjacent corner.

Example: 4 feet at the wall, 7 feet outside. Run a shallow crank along the wall at a constant distance; if followers stall at the corner, switch to a slow‑fall soft stickbait and let it hang at the corner. Don’t throw the soft bait to the bright outside and assume you tested fish holding inside the shade.
