NOAA was wrong again, a beautiful day on the water even if the bite was slow. My pardner caught a pompano in 6' South of the rock garden and we managed a few rock bass but the only keeper trout were caught on the West flats. No action on top water at all :cry: , c/t with s/a tipped with shrimp or fishbites or c/t with live shrimp did all the catching. I had a cobia try to take my c/t again, I've got to put a hook in that thing!

AJ, "Greedy Gut" sells them with treble on the front and back of the cork. It's extra insurance if the floating grass ain't bad.

Weaver's Greedy Gut in Moultrie, GA. I could be wrong, but I don't think they have a website.

If you want one with the treble hooks to try, shoot me an e-mail. I have some and never use them. They are new - never fished with.

ST99, Why haven't you tried them? If they catch alot of grass it would be a pain, but if they catch one cobe that would be great. It's happened to me twice in two years.

AJ, I don't use them all the time. If the fish are hitting the cork, I change to the treble hooked cork. I also have some new ones I'd be glad to let you try. I'll check tonight and see if the address is on the package.

Treble hooks hang on the line. I just don't use them. If a fish hits my cork, I pick up my other rod and throw a topwater plug.

Thanks CS but I think I like ST99's idea. I keep a rod set up with either top water or a suspended lure. I'll try to remember to throw it next time :roll: .

I like ST99's plan too. That's what I do now. It's a trick I picked up bass fishing many years ago, throw something different at them and they sometimes come back after it. Notice I did say "Sometimes."
