I was out on Tuesday afternoon, and there were tons of small spearing, peanuts and snappers in the Shrewsbury River with weaks, fluke & blues all over them at high tide.:eek: :cool:

This was the first time I saw them this year. :cool: The snappers and peanuts were perfect bait-sized specimens.:cool:

A few guys from my marina were using them as bait, and they were catching weakies from 16-25 inches on almost every cast. However, my buddy and I tossed Gulps, and they were eating them just as readily.;)

Good Luck!

I keep my boat in a slip at the Clam Hut (right next door to Marina on the Bay.)

I have passed you guys in your Duranautic a few times on my way out of the river before I knew it was you. Now that I know your boat, I'll swing by a give a shout "Hello!" the next time! :cool:

My boat is a 21' Pro-line cc with a teal colored T-top and the name "Bertha" in big blue letters on the side.

Ed use small Kastmaster 's or Sibiki rigs for snappers.

[Boatsmith]

I have always used kastmasters, sabiki rig is new to me. I will give them a try.

Thanks again!

Break out the freshwater trout rod, scoop up some spearing and throw them out on small hook for the snappers. Makes some fun out of them little bastards.
