The problem with shrimp is everything loves to eat shrimp. It’s the potato chip of the sea. Shrimp have their moments were they shine, but right now with the water temps dropping my shrimp have gotten ignored by reds and I believe they are looking for a meal not a snack. I’ve switched over to smaller croakers, finger mullet, bigger mud minnows and 3-4” pins with great success.Bjpfla wrote:I’ve only used lures for so long that I’ve forgotten how to use live bait! What is everyone using to target redfish? A long time ago a bait store recommended mud minnows, I didn’t have any luck. Shrimp just seems to get a lout of trout/cats/bait fish for me.
