Shrimp are similar to earthworms and can fish for almost all freshwater species. What we usually use as bait is river shrimp, which are widely distributed in rivers and lakes, and are also called green shrimp or grass shrimp because they love to live in aquatic grasses.
River shrimp as a small inferior animal is originally a natural food for fish, in addition to carnivorous fish such as catfish, yellow waxing, cinnamon fish, cocked mouth, etc. like it, omnivorous crucian carp, carp also like to eat.
The following is a brief introduction to the catch and hooking method of using river shrimp as bait.
River shrimp are rarely active on the shore during the day, but at night, there will be a lot of shrimp foraging activities on the rocks on the water grass on the shore. Catching river shrimp can be caught in shrimp cages, but anglers are not specialized in shrimp catching, there are very few shrimp cages, what to do? We can use the net to catch shrimp, with the kind of mesh is very fine mesh net, open some thick bait, open the hard stick, put into the net, the net into the shore shrimp water, or a moment the river shrimp will enter the net to eat, you have to do is to quickly pick up the net.
River shrimp bait also pays attention to hanging fishing, there are hanging shrimp heads, some hanging shrimp tails, some hanging shrimp waists, and some directly shelling meat to hang shrimp meat. Which method is best? I think hanging shrimp heads and shrimp mouths is good, can ensure the activity of shrimp, and it is not easy to shake off when throwing the rod. The method of hanging the shrimp head is as follows: the fish hook is pierced from the shrimp mouth and the bend of the fish hook is stabbed out from the lower part of the shrimp head. Note that the internal organs of the shrimp are all in the head, and carefully avoiding the internal organs when hooking can ensure that the shrimp can live longer.
Tip: When using river shrimp as bait, you should use a fish hook with a thin wire, I generally use an izu hook.
