It’s hard to outfish the guys with the grass shrimp. I’ve been schooled a couple of times, but turned it the other way once.

On my favorite local lakes I have the best luck brim fishing with live or fresh dead grass shrimp. I have used worms, crickets and cut bait. 35 years ago I used to Striper fish the St Johns river just North of Lake George.. What I quickly learned was you better have multiple bait choices..Grass Shrimp, very small shiners, small Croakers, live eels and a chrome 1/4 oz Rattle trap plug.. You never knew what they were in the mood for.. Eels were the best bait most of the time for the bigger stripers..

Another vote grass shrimp. Used them a lot when I was young on cane/bamboo poles, fishing a black water cypress swamp (Chick). A place just down the road (Ed Allen's) sold them in small paper bags with a little moist saw dust in the bottom, $.50. Eventually, dad got a shrimp net and we could catch our own buy scraping the base of the cypress trees and knees. Best brim bait I ever put on a hook.
