ED, what do you recommend drifting in coloured water this time of year, bright blades? Are the bubblegum worms still any good or shrink down to single beads?

We've been doing quite well on white/pearl UV shrimp style jigs a couple inches long. If we don't have jigs, just small chunks of prawn the size of a thumb nail have been working well.

The fish we saw caught were on 4 inch bubblegum worms, so worms should definitely still work.
