    The Yo-Zuri pen minnow 3 1/2 inch in chrome on a bubble rig is deadly. But at $9.00 a piece, a cut-off can get expensive.

    They are nice, but Spanish are too easy to catch otherwise. It's especially irritating when you have to see a shark swimming by all day with your Yo-Zuri hanging from the corner of his mouth.

    Been there, done that.

    People are shocked to see sharks in the water around here.

    If you see natural water taste it. If it's salty it has sharks in it. If it's fresh it has alligators in it. If it's brackish it has both.

    Years ago crappie jigs or Mc Donald's straws were the go to bait. Bottom line is this, rig it and work the bubble correctly and you will catch fish if they are there.

    Found the small X-Raps at Gardendale Walmart for $3 apiece bought all they had. I started going to the clearance section every time I go in to Walmart got Strike King Tungsten worm weights last year for .50 cents a pack. Only could find 4 packs though.

    I also bought 2 deep diving crank baits at the Walmart on beach road last year. Caught a bunch of Spanish on them but they ended up in a sharks mouth. Hope he didn't choke on them.
