Comment by dick tabbert on January 30, 2026 at 3:45pm: I'll be tying up some more grass shrimp since my box is void of them.

Comment by Jeffrey D. Abney on January 30, 2026 at 3:30pm: Dick Tabbert sent me some homemade grass shrimp….yes they were fooled…

Comment by dick tabbert on August 3, 2013 at 9:38am: Glad the shrimp are working for Jeffrey you make me enthused that much more. I made up some newer ones and changed the dubbing to Ice Dubbing and Lazer Dub which I got at Janns Netcraft. This dubbing gives off much more sparkle which should catch the eye of the fish much more quicker. I'll post some pictures later. Again thanks for your summary it is greatly appreciated.

Comment by Jeffrey D. Abney on July 27, 2013 at 8:09am: Thanks Tooty....Hawaii is noce but I'd rather go in the Winter....lol....but duty calls and we'll get er' dun and get back for the Fall bite...been a great season in coastal Carolina......
