Who you callin' a shrimp?

I've seen some posts that mention using shrimp for channel cats. Do you guys use fresh shrimp or the pre-cooked frozen kind? It sure would be nice to try something a little more clean than chicken livers or cut bait. Thanks.

Hi Gill, I haven't used shrimp myself but Catfish1 tells me he keeps fresh uncooked,unshelled jumbo shrimp in his arsenal. I guess they work good for him but looking at the rest of the "stuff" in his bucket....Theres nothing clean about it!

WET NETS!

I'm going to try the shrimp thing this weekend to see how it works. I've also been told to soak them in Vanilla Extract (gonna try that too)! Geez what next? LOL!!

I've seen guys fishing with ivory soap in cheese cloth.

Hi Dark30 and all; Yes the stuff I got in my bucket is sometime not to nice smelling. Even the shrimp gets a little ruff at times.lol When you clean your fish and check to see what it has been eating. If you find crawldads. Shrimp usually works real good. and as far as the vanilla extract. We use to put a little on are nightcrawlers as we hooked them on. Seems to me that it turned are crawlers a little white. And sometimes would help get the fish to bite. But I think if you put it on a rag it would do the same thing. The last shrimp I got and after useing it and it started to get a little smelly. I dehigraded it for about 6 hours and put in frig. Just a way of keeping it a bet longer. Will good luck fishing
