…and Classic Competitors Better Have ‘Em Too
Did ya get the importance of the blue crab thing yet?
We reported some time back that blue crabs represent a HUGE portion of the diet of Delta bass – 34% to 74%, depending on the year. That was bass in the Mobile-Tensaw Delta, but hey – that’s a Gulf Delta on roughly the same latitude.
And once again, if you somehow choose not to believe the scientists, here’s a quote from this week’s Science post:
“I mainly stick to fishing Strike King Elite double rattle black/blue/purple jigs with powder-blue Zoom super-chunks, which resembled the crabs….â€
Who said it? A fisherman. In the Classic. Kevin…something.
Not only does KVD crabs, he’s fishin’ ’em.

I use a similar jig setup to fish for redfish, except I use a green-pumpkin skirt to match the shell with a sapphire blue trailer to mimic the claws. If you can find a green pumpkin jig with a few strands of chartreuse or orange in it, even better.
None of the other saltwater guys will throw a traditional jig down here, and I’m not making it a point to give up the secret.
I just don’t know how they can’t look at a jig and see a crab. Oh well…

Jason, hush up about that blue sapphire…. capisce? Those Mann’s One Minus looks so tasty, I want to dip one in butter and take a bite myself! Those guys do some real nice paint.
