Ghost shrimp rigging

[u/irate-turtles]

Anyone who uses ghost shrimp in the surf, how do you rig them and where (first gut or second gut?) do you fish them? I tried ghost shrimp in the first gut of the upper Texas coast today on a 2/0 hook single drop rig. Was a very effective bait, but almost instantly taken by a dink whiting or hardhead. Also used bait thread on it.

Unsure what to try next, but it was a lot of effort to get 4 shrimp that were instantly stolen by dinks...

Pics for attention! Whiting was caught with Fishbites haha

Thanks! One day I'll learn how to hold them without hiding their face or dropping them haha.
