General Discussion

You stand on a sand bar with your rod and reel in hand. Attached to your waist is a net, a stringer, and a bucket of live shrimp.

You use a popping cork. A popping cork rig uses a buoyant cork to attract fish by creating noise and surface disturbance when "popped".

You hook up the shrimp; hold onto the rod with both hands and cast it as far as you can (chunking) while standing in waist-to-chest deep water. Then you pull back and “pop” the cork to attract the fish. Very similar to fishing with a top water lure for bass.

The sun is coming up; the sea is calm and green to the beach. You keep popping the cork and bam! Fish on! Now sometimes that ole redfish or speckled trout will turn you completely around before it gives up! Heart racing you use your net and scoop that beauty up!

Heaven! Nothing like it in the whole world!
