It'll be right around the corner.....

Had some down time between jobs this morning & went into Wally Mart. Found this package of grass shrimp baits (artificial) for 2 bucks & change. Was thinking of the shell cracker season, but the specks should take'em as well under cork. Also for the salt guys, they are selling them calm & shrimp stripes that look like sticks of gum & come in white, pink, & chartreuse colors, seen a u-tube video of this kayaker slamming black drum 1 after another with these baits......was surprised with the bait selection varieties, since I've last been there.

Good choice on the grass shrimp....I bought these on eBay a couple years ago and the bream slammed em. I like to catch live ones if I'm letting them soak for a few minutes but when I'm working an area and a lot of casting the plastics work better. Can't wait to get at em soon

Those are the best plastic shrimp I've ever seen. I've been getting a few but not lots. They're always fun though.

I forgot to mention my all time favorite the bream bug....Attachment 294305

I tried those fish bite strips. Got some kind of fibers running through them. Ended up with a wad of stringy crap on the hook. Sticking with Procure on my artificials.

Actual he would be correct Mike, no indication on the packaging, buy at the top "Magic" stamping is Magic Productions & when going to there website they state they are preserved....I stand corrected, but of real importance is will they work good:biggrin

Yep....I didn't read carefully.... JADA

I've never fished for the shell crackers, but they say some good ones are being caught nearby. Let us know how the shrimp work, Jeff.

Regards :ThumbsUp

Got a bag of them Monday, just makes sense. A cricket doesn't have to be alive to work, and these shrimp should do right. Been having a good time with the gills lately anyway but always good to have an ace in the hole.

Does that thing really work?

Thanks for the info.. I just got a pack of 10 to try in a couple of weeks. Quess you just made someone some money cause I gonna get three or two more
