Fishing the shallows

[pnutbunker]

Zach purchased a boat and we will be fishing the shallows close to home. Downsizing the patterns for ultra lite fluking. The crab is a work in progress.

This shrimp has been greatly reduced and sits on top of a size 2 hook. It's hard to tell from the picture. It has PORGIES written all over it.

A few fluke picked up yesterday were spitting up grass shrimp.

Back in the days of Maine's 20-26" striper slot, just about every fish I filleted caught in my river had grass shrimp in them...

They look awesome as usual

Thanks for the feedback.

Here's another one I tied last year that is still sitting on my tying table. I may have to retract the legs a bit. I'm concerned the legs will be chewed up too quickly. Will report back and give you an update.

Zach loves bouncing light jigs across the bottom. Enhanced the jig by turning it into a crab.

That is a great idea! What did you use to create the Claws?

Another work in progress. Ready to build a suite of color combinations.
