Hey Elkrun, mind telling what color you use for Silvers? Also, you say You mind elaborating on this?
I use BB a lot for the Humpies in the salt, and have snagged a few. Sometimes it cannot be helped. I disagree that "if you are jigging them horizontally, you are snagging". I fish them nearly all the time that way (horizontally) for Humpies, as when fishing in 10 ft of water near shore (in the salt) it is never going to be productive to fish vertically, as Humpies will not lie under your boat. The last time the Humpies were in, I found a school of Silvers jumping like crazy near shore in about 12 ft. of water right next to a very deep dropoff. I tossed the green/white BB, which I was told was the color for silvers, to no avail. Tried spinners, plugs, and even tossed out a couple of herring (poor attempt at mooching) also to no avail. They apparently were feeding, but nothing worked. Any hints here? I will be at it again the first 2 weeks in August and would sure like to catch a silver.

Thanks!
