Around here, it is not that easy to find a store that sells worms as bait. If I want to use worms for bait, I have to drive into town to get worms and even stock up for later fishing exploits. So, I got to thinking...when I was younger and used to fish bream alot (before school took over my life), we used to use bits of shrimp to catch a ton of bream. But, this was a brackish water bayou. I was wondering if using shrimp would still be a good idea in fresh water, or am I just having a dumb idea. Any input is welcome, and sorry; I'm still a newb
