Thanks Red and Ken. Good grief Ken! Going to send this thread to my notes for future reference.

Does anyone know where ai can get live grass shrimp on the Peninsula side of the Bay?

Just a little advice for those loading up on these fish. Try to avoid waste. Just bring home what you will use. When the fish are thick in an area and all it takes is couple of tosses to fill a bucket, it can be too easy to let greed get the better of us. Been there, done that.
