HA! I knew I'd "draw some strikes"!!!

Smalma- The amphipods that I've seen on my beach aren't the normal olive green, most of them are dark colored browns, grays... basically any color that blends in with the mud/cobble/gravel beach. I've even seen some that are a mix of various colors, thus making it appear like they are supposed to be somehow less visible to fish due to their superb camoflage.

Yeah, admittedly, I'd rather be fishing something other than a scud, but there's just some days when the cutts are around, but don't feel like putting on an aerial acrobat show and are probably just rooting around the bottom for little morsels. I might be going fishing for the little buggers on friday if the weather cooperates. Could anyone tell me if all the cutts are congregated around the estuaries or are there still good numbers of them in the normal places? Seems last time I was out it was fairly dead with no jumpers and maybe just few rises. I don't have a boat, and I don't feel like mucking around in the mud. Anyone willing to point me to locations I ought to hammer near Olympia.
