Do you use a bobber with
live shrimp
?
If you want to catch lots of fish, are fishing with beginners or kids, or want some sheepshead and snapper for dinner, throwing out a
live shrimp
under a bobber or with a
split shot
is a
great idea
And to find the feeding zones, make sure to look for areas with structure, current, and bait.
Live Shrimp: What size hooks for live shrimp
A number 1 or 1/0 J hook is used by many anglers when fishing with live shrimp and minnows, but I prefer the same size circle hook, which minimizes
deep hooking
of caught fish and facilitates easy unhooking and unharmed release.
How do you toughen shrimp for fishing?
Fishing:
Cut the shrimp into half-inch pieces, and microwave on high for one to two minutes, or until the shrimp edges start to turn orange This is the fastest method of curing for bait shrimp, and it helps solidify and firm the flesh to make it easier to fish.
Dead Shrimp: Can I fish with dead shrimp
Dead shrimp can be highly effective for catching inshore fish The most important thing is that they shrimp are fresh. After that, it’s as simple as ripping off the head and rigging it just like you would an artificial shrimp on a jig head.
Best Time: What is the best time to pier fish
Generally speaking, the best time to fish from a pier is either early morning or sundown This is when moving tides attract a lot of baitfish to the area, which in turn, brings out the big and hungry of the fish world, too.
Pier Fishing: How much weight should I use for pier fishing
It depends on the sea and
weather conditions
and the strength of the current. For a
calm ocean
and weak current, 1 to 2 ounces is usually all you need to stay stable in the strike zone. However, in more
choppy waters
you may need to use up to 6-8 oz to avoid being pushed around all the time by the water movement.
What hooks to use with shrimp?
Shrimp:
You may want to use a baitholder hook, one with barbs on its shank , to better hold the shrimp’s tail in place. Breaking off the shrimp’s tail fan releases a fish-attracting scent. You can also hook the shrimp crosswise through the tip of its tail.
How long will live shrimp last?
They will easily last over night. I have kept shrimp in my styrofoam lined bait bucket outside in the shade for up to days with my $6 electric aerator.
Long Line: How many hooks are you allowed on a long line
Just like longline fishing there is a 25-hook maximum.
Live Bait: Should I use a sinker with live bait
Using a sinker anchors the bait to the bottom and may mean no fish feeds there Letting a live bait swim around mid-water is great as it will cover a lot more area than being anchored in one spot. Floats can be used to keep track of your bait and indicate when your target species hits the bait.
