This past spring I had great luck w/a large shrimp pattern fished deep. I tied a rattle and some lead to get it on the bottom. I picked up many very nice fish. One of the larger fish (25#'s or so) was full of mantis shrimp as well as mussle shells, a few rocks and a small conch shell. I kept the largest shrimp (8") in a mayonase jar in my office until September, the smell kept my co-workers away. I am tying many 8" ugly rattle shrimp for the spring.

Spring is just around the corner, a long $$$%^*&^$ corner.
