Title: freshwater shrimp
Post by: glenn57 on January 01/17/23, 10:05:24 AM
there is a discussion over on IDO regarding freshwater shrimp for bait, and the fact they cant seem to buy any???

anyone else use of seen them in bait shops. its been years since i've seen or use them. they were the ticket when fishin Minnewaska by Glenwood years ago during hardwater. thyet seems to get a bit mushy at times anf kinda hard to keep on a hook. but damn them worked good on that lake!!!!!!

 :scratch: They're not live but I've got some of these that I've tried before, with no luck. Didn't remember where they came from until I just asked Google. :bonk: https://www.fleetfarm.com/detail/magic-preserved-grass-shrimp/0000000023518;jsessionid=PbvAj18q6UDHVrpYEG0kAOaS760_dqYL7gfa52V

Last time I bought any of those was at Port Side on Mille Lacs. Been a few years, so I don't know if they have any this year.

 :scratch: I don't remember where I heard of these guys (FM(?)) but it looks like they carry 'em when they can get 'em. At least they're listed in their live bait section. :confused: https://www.vadosbait.com/index.php/bait-store.html
