Color closely mimics live shrimp, captain says
There’s no doubt Capt. Chris Pike is mainly going to throw live shrimp during June, but if he gets the opportunity to throw a soft plastic, there’s also no doubt what color it will be.
“Glow with a chartreuse tail,” Pike insisted. “I think this color closely mimics a shrimp. The glow shows up a little bit better and the chartreuse tail works great in the summer.
“If you look at shrimp in the water, you can see they have somewhat of a green or chartreuse tint.”
The only two opportunities he has for fishing his glow/chartreuse plastics during the summer are when he encounters trout biting under diving birds or when he can really get the trout whipped into a frenzy with the live shrimp.
“I’m not going to abandon the live shrimp and go strictly to plastic unless I run out of shrimp,” Pike said.
