The trend is casting bobbers and jigs. I don't fish from boats, so I can't help with that. I see alot of fish hooked this way, and some are use'n sandshrimp. I tried berkly power grubs(4" green& white) with scent(shrimp oil) last tuesday I didn't take anything home. First time use'n that and the last. I skipped out of work to hit retier>? fished for two hours than the plant manager called he in to work. @#$%^&..... I'd try some spoons. Let them drift the current? A guy at work has been doing good. He won't tell me his secret. In time I'll work it out of him.
