The drop off is deffinatly starting to produce fish, especially when the shallower water is heavily stained from rainfall, but there should still be plenty of fish in the flats off of Devonshire Beach. With kids I find its often more simple fishing off of Devonshire or Northshore, keeping hooks where the fish are is a bit easyer at 8 feet than at 25 or so. Depending on how many people we have in the boat I either troll bottom bouncers and spinners, or use jigs tipped with a half crawler. White, black, and yellow are my best jig colors and in about that order.
If the flats aren't producing you can always motor out to Dog Island and try deeper water. Trolling spoons along the West side of the island usually picks up good numbers of pike, and can be a good way to salvage a day if all else fails.
