Thanks Tyler and TC. Sounds like a lot of good advice and I am fired up about trying it out this weekend. The sad part is that I already have most of what ya'll mentioned to try in my tackle box. Most of it still in the wrapper because I haven't had the confidence to use it for more than a few cast at a time. I guess it is also goodin the fact that I don't have to run to the store.

Probably my biggest problem is that the last time I did this type of fishing was when Iwasabout 8- 10 years old,fishing with my great uncles and my dad on the Mississippi Gulf coast some 40+ years ago.Most of the artificials weren't invented then.We used dead shrimp and possibly some live ones and caught the heck out of specs and I think a few reds. It has been hard for me to get away from those memories - so I naturally gravitate towards hooking on the shrimp.

Thanks once again for the pointers. Will let you know how it goes. Good luck to you guys!
