    I would start out with a throat pump to see what is hatching, color and size. Use a searching pattern like a leech stripped or a scud, something that's around year long. Then once you get one throat pump it to see what is going on. Or even fish gear to get one then pump it.

    I would say black/silver ribbed with a white head, or a chrome/red/black.
