Daytime fishing Advice?

I'm going to be heading to the shore with a buddy this weekend and wanted some advice. We'll be in a 19 foot skiff w/90 hp, so we have very limited range. I'm wondering what you guys think the best target, approach, and baits would be for this weekend. My friend absolutely never gets fishing so I want to maximize our chances of catching fish in our limited time. I'm thinking about trolling rattletraps (as others have talked about) and also plugging for bass at night. I was thinking that bait might be best during the day...I'm guessing clam, (I know shedder isn't available) and perhaps minnows.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Tide certainly plays a role, and you can defiantly catch them in the day but this time of year its tough...high water temps, lots boat/jet ski traffic...etc...if your really targeting decent size weaks save your time and go at night if you know the water well enough. Good luck
