I use a 10 foot rod when I'm drinking...I mean fishing in the surf and watching the split tails run the beach.

So, same ole plan in three weeks. double drop pomp rigs with fresh live shrimp (of which you could find none last Spring)...fish bites and Sand Fleas.

How is the bait situation looking this Spring or what else do you like for Surf fishing for pomps, whiting and reds.

Even when they run out of shrimp they usually will tell you approximately when they will get more back in. J&M has a bait number to call. When the Sheepshead are really biting they run out, but I think they do an excellent job restocking.

Carl's right No need to put live shrimp on a drop rig Small pieces of fresh peeled dead shrimp will be your best bet
