'GOOD LUCK GOOD TYIN" Clammer 02-14-2001, 08:45 PM S/D Just waiting//like everyone else// Clammer 02-15-2001, 05:56 PM Saltydog any grass shrimp flies? Thanks// JohnR 02-15-2001, 06:10 PM I was out west a couple years ago fishing for stripers in the Sacramento Delta. There was a tackle shop I was in and the guy was tying grass shrimp flies to use for stripers. Some of the most popular baits for chunking over there are grass and ghost shrimp. Don't see too much of that around here. Nice thing is that you might just hook a sturgeon too. 'Course you probably wouldn't fair any better landing a sturgeon on a pool stick than you would on a flyrod, still get stripped if you're on shore... saltydog 02-15-2001, 08:32 PM clamdigger, YES, I was in a bunch of fly swaps ,an I did olive ,pink,tan, shrimp. would you like some!!!!!!!!!!!!! send me 3 flies you ties an Ill send you 3 shrimp! befor there all gone! "GOOD LUCK GOOD TYIN" saltydog 02-15-2001, 08:36 PM jOHN, WOW! STURGEN ON A 15wt , mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. interesting. JohnR 02-15-2001, 09:31 PM I'd love to catch one of those anyway I could, fly, big stick, hands except that they would slice you right up!!! I shipped my rods out two years ago when I was setting up an office in Sacramento. I had a sturgeon on from shore for about 5 minutes maybe. Wasn't fighting all that hard then BANG!!! GONE!!! I was fishing a 1209Sabre and a Calcutta 400 - bye-bye... Almost all of those fish of any size are caught from boat, much like tarpon fishing I guess. BTW - the fish hit shrimp. I wound out that trip with two measily stripers but it was fun :) Clammer 02-15-2001, 10:26 PM Saltydog, I don't tie them but Ill buy some. drop me a e-mail. Thanks YO John, I guess if you come from Mass you don't know about grass shrimp// that has to be the reason// When. we hook up I have a couple of stories to tell you. If you find them hard to believe maybe i'll have to show you// I guess there is still some things you hard core guys don't know YET// later JohnR 02-16-2001, 08:29 AM Clammer, being a m#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& from north of the east end of the ditch, ie Bastin, I would say "No, I'm not familiar much with them". But I will say that after several trips in Cali using them for bait, shrimps are not something I'd overlook these days. But I'll tell you one thing, if I ever get back there to Cali fishing for stripers, I'm bringing eels... :P Canalratt1 02-16-2001, 12:04 PM John grass shrimp are very abundant in the rivers on the Cape and further south. Stripers love them and when the first schoolies hit the rivers that is one thing they chow on. We used to net them and chubs for fresh water bait but lots of times you could see the bass busting them like a mini blitz! Clammer 02-16-2001, 05:52 PM Canalratt1 --- Don/t tell everyone// later saltydog 02-16-2001, 09:19 PM CLAMDIGER, e-mail your address, an I send you 3 beauties, all that is required is if you can put a pic up of the flies for all to see! "GOOD LUCK GOOD FISHIN" JohnR 02-16-2001, 09:24 PM E-mail me a pic and I'll put it up... I'm going to e-mail you the rest of that stuff this weekend.... Later... Clammer 02-16-2001, 09:52 PM SaltyDog , thanks will do I was going to say I would get ahold of John to do it, because I don't know how . Then I read the next post from him, I've got to find out how to get pictures on this site. I have some I think the group would enjoy// When I get them i'll still check with John-maybe if he sees them in person he can post them better. ThankYou very much// later saltydog 02-18-2001, 06:34 PM clamdiger, got your e-mail they will be on there way tuesday."GOOD LUCK GOOD FISHIN" vBulletin® v3.8.7, Copyright ©2000-2025, vBulletin Solutions, Inc.
