And what ever it takes to catch them is what I will use.
I've had days in Grand Isle where artificial was better than live shrimp

Beleive it or not

I believe it ,but i more than once have pulled up on a spot where a boat was on one side of a platform catching a few trout on arties and started fishing the other side w/ live shrimp. arties never got another bite.
We fish live shrimp ,get the fish feeding then go to plastics till they slow down then back to shrimp to turn em on again.
