It only follows to reason that when the grass shrimp are around in numbers one would use 1/2 to 3/4-inch grass shrimp patterns. However, this is not so. Most of the time, bass in Jamaica Bay won’t bother with a few grass shrimp because they are very small. They come around only on the high tides when the big hatches occur.

Theories range from dense development along the bay to pollutants from sewage treatment plant wastewater.
