When shrimping, many people like to use salmon or halibut carcasses because they are cheaper than buying pellets. On the other hand, shrimp pellets or any manufactured shrimp bait bring success, too. The key is soaking these baits in the Fuel overnight to enhance them and get the most of out them.
Make your bait balls about hockey puck size. They will sink straight to the bottom and stay in place. Two per pole is plenty, and these two bait balls will attract shrimp for many hours.
However, a simple bag of dry cat food is all it takes to turn your run-of-the-mill fishing hole into a catfish paradise.
Take a water bottle and cut the top 1/3 off, put some algae wafer or your shrimps favorite food in the bottom half. Take the top piece and place it inverted into the bottom piece. Now, the shrimp can go in but have a hard time getting out, and you can easily pour them into another container.
