Equipment Used:

On this trip, I rigged a live shrimp on a Z-Man Trout Eye Jighead and fished that underneath a popping cork.

All I did to rig the shrimp was slide the hook through the horn of the shrimp and out the other side, but be careful not to hit the brain and kill the shrimp.

Since the fish were hugging so tight to the grass line, I figured a popping cork and some shrimp would be the ticket to call them out and strike.

At one point, out of nowhere, the fish I was fighting jumped out of the water, into my kayak, and over the other side nearly knocking my camera down with it.

Of course, it was a juvenile tarpon!

But I was NOT expecting that at all.

As the day went on, I started using the Gold Digger Paddletail underneath the popping cork.

I also hooked into a second juvenile tarpon on the Gold Digger lure so they were interested in the pop from the cork as well.

Conclusion

Get yourself some live shrimp and popping corks and you’ll crush it this fall!!

If you run out of shrimp, you can always throw a 2.0 paddletail on too.

Do you have any additional questions about any of the gear I was using or the tactics on this trip?

Enjoyed the video, I never used a lead head directly into the shrimp. Normally added a split shot up the leader about 8″. I will give the lead head a try.

Popping corks are one of the go-to rigs in South Carolina with murky water, especially on colder days to trigger a bite. Great post!

Thanks Matt. I will definitely keep this video in mind next trip. Haven’t used a popping cork very much in the past but will definitely start. Never thought of using artificial. Thanks
