Finally no rainn =D......anyways i finished my class work and studied a good deal so i decided to take advantage of the weather and fish out back at my little honey hole =)...started at about 3 and all i had to show was this huge hardhead 20+
so i stopped with the cutbait until i felt it should be used =), i start digging around my shrimp and i find this...
what is this? anyways...its about 5 and i see a group of bait running for its life so i threw in my only mullet put the head on one rod and the body on another 10 min later the bait makes it to my line and boom!
i its on =) faught it for a bit really strong strong red felt like a oversize real stocky... needless to say the picture does no justice it was a beautiful red i couldidnt keep it wouldidnt feel right so i cpr'd...while i was dehooking this red my other rod pretty darn near broke in the rod holder i set the hook saw a BIG red floppin around in the semi-shallow water annnnnd then it spits the hook =/ put up called it a day =) |

| Live mantis shrimp will mess you up. They can shatter aquariums and bust open a finger. Even dead they have razor sharp points. |

Hence the name for them on many a shrimpboat - Thumbsplitter.
That's a bad dude, but an EXCELLENT bait for red snapper. |

So very true. Also called a Pistol Shrimp because it can sound like a pistol going off when they pop.
Great black drum bait.  |
