Calcaseau Point
 

Does anybody know if calcaseau point is open and selling live shrimp and how much.

There open and have shrimp. I'm not sure of prices. I think last year it was 16 dollars a quart.

About how many shrimp is that

Anywhere from 50 to 80 depending on the size.

Thanks.

The ladies at cal point are awesome. Be nice to them and they will return the favor.

Indeed!! Good people over there

In true Cajun fashon...... Elane come to work by boat.

Did she choot a 7ft, 800lb gator on her way??????

Is there anywhere to cast net for shrimp? Theres lots of places at the rock refuge but not sure about big lake.

Hmm not sure about that

Da Weirs!! But I have caught them in the ship channel by the current breaks too.

You could spend all day castig for bait shrimp. It is much simpler to just buy a quart or two and save yourself a whole lot of trouble/time/fishingtime... just saying

this time of year, here's your live shrimp

light jighead, pop it real nice and wait for the thump, fast on the hookset ;)

I agree they work well

I prefer these,glow color works well but very hard to find. Manns quit making them I bought 300 a while back. Gunna suck when I run out...small bait but I have caught some 4-5 pound trout on em. Very durable lure,with a good jighead 1 will last for a limit of trout.

yeh i like the chartreuse glow sparkle beetles . . . . never relly tried those salty grubs, may have to give em a wack

Do y'all have a preference on color of jig heads?

I've never had an issue with the nonpainted lead.

Sent from my EVO

I use plain jigheads

I use a flutter hook on them instead of a jighead.......sinks flatter. I've never seen a shrimp swim straight up and down. They always stay flat

If you work it fast it does not have time to go up and down,more side to side action.

Thanks buddy. In 1/4 ounce or lighter

Can't go to fast with a beer in one hand and a thermometer in your mouth

1/8 and 1/4 depends on the tide and wind

Thanks

What kinda corks do ya use? Hope yall don't mind all the ?

Is any one better than the other. Does it depend on weight?

I don't know, if I use a poppin cork I chunk the middle one with a circle hook and no weight

Thanks.

I use old bay sider.... Bought 8 3 years ago..... Still using same 8. I've repainted them a few times. Corks are dinged up , but the main piece is still strait and Workin just like new!!!

Not sure it makes a difference other than looking pretty, a sharp hook does. 1/16, 1/8, and 1/4. Sometimes the lighter the jig the more strikes if they want a slower fall, but they don't cast as far. I try to cast them downwind anyway though.

IMO you really don't need a 1/4 under the cork, I don't think they bounce as high when you pop it.
