Never been to were you fish but have fished very fast outgoing and if it's not too deep try a sinker plug that drags on the bottom.
You just might have a few fish sitting in a hole waiting for a snack.

Conrads... bottles and not to be forgotten goo goo eyes.....it might be classified as a trolling plug but I've taken more than a few outsized bass from the PI jetties in that 5 knot tide when everything else rolled out..
