caught them on almost every cast. up my way they are feeding on very small bait--peanut bunker and tiny silver sides. i tied up a peanut bunker pattern on a #1 hook using very big clouser eyes, then white shimmer tied in the high tie style on both the top and bottom of the hook. whole fly was maybe an inch or so long, but a bit wide (like a peanut bunker). give the smaller flies a try...
