Steve, Howzabout gardening in the morning and fishing the afternoon? The afternoon bite is far superior to the morning bite as the running local theory has most of the fish swinging out from the local ponds and rivers where they spend the nights and mornings, do a few laps of the nearby beaches and of course the wall - and head back in to the ponds and rivers. This is again, just a theory but the fish are most likely winter-over fish out looking for a meal and not fresh run fish. Although by that time, there should be fresh fish mixed in with the hold overs... By far the most productive rig at that time is the bucktail jig and bucktail teaser. The jig can be swapped with a soft plastic and jig head but plugs and bait aren't very relaible at this time of year...
I'm sure more info will be available for you as those dates come near...
