Here are some of my favorites for Jupiter at night.....especially the Tennet's Crystal Shrimp!

Did you tie them? If so, can you post a quick how-to or even better take some pics while tying one?

I do not tie them. Believe it or not, I'm not much of a fly tyer. I get frustrated because I cannot make them look like store bought versions. I can tell you, that the shrimp is easy to tie. If I had to, I could probably tie them......crystal chenile, a few hairs, crystal flash, and two eyes for the head. It is a pattern I get from Allen Wyatt at Andy Thornal Co. in Winter Haven, FL. It is money for shook at night. You can tie it in darker colors and cast it to reds in super skinny water, too.

I was so proud of myself when my green bass flies actually caught fish.. pretty cool imo :thumb:

I guess I'll have to post it up someday, though it's pretty darn simple to make.

The fly in the top left is what we here in California call a McMorf, and it is tied mostly in red with red lead eyes or in rootbeer. Both colors work great in the surf here.
Your right, it is a very easy tie, similar to a woolybugger, but with Estaz and eyes instead of a cone head and hackle.

Our photo editor, John Frazier, has been doing well at night in Stuart with the Lowman's Finger Mullet, which you can see in one of our past issues. It'sshould be up on our website video tying forum soon.
