Shrimp Problem

[lizardsrule]

OK you brainiacs how about a little ingenutiy and ideas on this one. The shrimp have been running throughout the area, including the St Johns river. I saw a boat today that was cast netting for at least six hours I hope he got them all, because the fish aren't biting on anything so to speak. Me and my partner fished for about 11 hours today with a total of five bass. We didn't see anyone pull a fish out of the water all day except 1 fellow who was using LIVE SHRIMP, and he caught a nice 4-5lb bass . We used shrimp imitations, DOA'S, and Gulp, with no bites at all. The three I caught were on Pulse worms, and my partner caught one on a crank(the bass were chasing baitfish first thing this am), and so he got it real quick, but no other activity on that all day. He also caught one on a trick worm. We fished Rodman, and the St Johns river(Dunn's creek, Rat creek, and a couple of islands). This isn't typical of a outing for us either The guy who caught the nice bass said if you aint fishing with live shrimp right now, you aint gonna catch any bass. Well we did, but in my estimation it was a poor outing. Both of us are new to Florida, he's from NJ, and I'm from IN. Never had a overload of shrimp problem before LOL. What tactics/ideas/thoughts would you have here to put more fish in the boat We used cranks, spinnerbaits, t-rig, c-rigs, weightless plastics, shrimp imitations, topwater, drop shot. Flukes, lizards, curly tail worms, straight tail, zipper style. We fished bends, points, bridges, laydowns, sand bars, canals. Thanks in advance for your time and suggestions
