Do you throw DOA's

Still trying to catch something w/ my assortment of gulps at the dike... Soon as I switched to a "clear" DOA shrimp....bam....something took the cork down as soon as it hit the water... lost it tho!!

How do you feel about the DOA's? curious

Me personally I don't care for them I use the power baits or chicken boys can't say what color because every where is different

You use CB's under a cork?

I'd rather throw DOAs than deal with a bucket of shrimp everytime I go fishing.

i've caught plenty of fish with the 1/4 clear doa shrimp with a cork and also without one.

I have more confidence in a DOA shrimp than any other lure in my box V. I don't lure fish a whole lot but have had the best luck with DOA.

I have caught some nice specks and reds on DOA. I usually just bounce them off the bottom and work them in the current. Work them slow and twitching. One of my "the big fish that got away" stories was on a DOA in the surf. A big speck blew it up about six feet from me. Surprised (scarred) me so bad I yanked it right out of his mouth.

I use DOA clear with a chartruse tail rigged with a cajun rattler cork.................deadly!!

Absolutely. I use them quite a bit in early to mid fall when the shrimp are pulling out of the estuaries. They are also good for finding fish when things slow down a little. They make a swimmng minnow with a curly tail, comes in black/silver, red/white and some other colors. A few years ago I fished the black and silver around the rocks in Pensacal for several days, it was a great bait.
