Subject: Tubes and shrimp |

I figured I would give this board a bit of life.
Lately I have watching shrimp drifting by at a local haunt and trying to
figure out a good way to catch stripers feeding on drifting shrimp near
the surface on conventional gear. Any of the shrimp lures that I find
for sale at tackle shops always have some lead in them which prevents
a good surface drift.
The other night I found fish feeding on drifting shrimp and threw out a
couple GP's on the fly rod to see if they would hit shrimp patterns. I
got a couple fish on a white GP then switched over to throwing a plastic
tube bait with a light wire hook with no wait at all on a small spinning
setup. The type of tube where you stick a lead jighead up inside it and
fish it near the bottom to mimic crayfish for catching smallmouths.
The tube drifted in the current near the surface just as I hoped and
what do you know I got a couple small schoolies. I would let the tube
drift in the current back reeling and and occasionally give it a twitch or
keep the line taught and letting it swing over a potential bass hangout.
I figured all in all a good day for catching stripers with finese tactics in
December.
