Keeping Them Alive

Fishing is like playing cards.  Sometimes you can influence the outcome by having an ace in the hole. Well fishing with live bait is like having that “Ace”.

There are many types of baits but I have found that live shrimp out performs any other.

When fishing with live shrimp, it is important to use only active shrimp. Many friends ask, well how do I keep them alive?

I use a combination of flo-troll bait holder or a variable speed aerator.  It is important to only buy fresh live shrimp.  Check for aggressive ones only.

But having fresh shrimp is only half of the process. Placing the shrimp on the hook properly ensures your invitation will be accepted.

Tightlines and live shrimp might just give you that “Ace” in the hole.
