This was the biggest quote I took and we've seen the same. All they want now is shrimp. Haven't had a great plastic bite since July and had 1 good trip on croakers in late may. Since then, nothing.
"
Life is expensive these days, so a lot of guys come out here and want to conserve a little money. They'll buy 75 shrimp instead of the 150 that they used to buy," he said. "They'll go out and get them started on live bait and then switch to plastic to keep them going."
Live croakers, on the other hand, have been a dud this summer, Campo said. Even anglers who are heading out to wade-fish at Breton Island are bringing live shrimp instead of croakers.
