I read an article in Florida Sportsman about drying raw shrimp in salt to use for fishing. I just dried about 200 and plan to take next time. Has anyone else tried it?



Wrong forum-sorry. Should have been under Fishing.

Talk to Chalk about it:

I have not made a batch since then...it works great for catching pinfish.

I do 'em with the heads on. Works great. They will stay on the hook when fresh ones will disappear.

I also break pieces off of them sometimes to tip a soft jerkbait hook.

I just put em in the tackle box with in a ziplock bag full of salt.

Dubble

There was a guy who used to do it commercially at Keaton Beach. As others have said, my only success with them was to catch baitfish.

Well, they look pretty good anyway. I did them about a week ago and they have become very tough. even if they are only good for baitfish.........something has to eat baitfish, right? Maybe I should put the dried shrimp in some GULP juice and re-dry them? That would be like cheating........RIGHT LANCE??
