Shrimp rated number one bait in university study

wow, that is sort of funny, that was a daily thing when I was a kid in one area I fished. 400 every trip in a few hours was a piece of cake. Now the grass has took over that area and I do good to catch 10 fish from there anymore.

I use corn for trout in Arkansas. I'm guessing that trout like corn because it looks like various fish eggs.

Down here in Fla-La-Land grass shrimp are a main source of food and plentiful so we have no need to buy corn, no matter how cheap. :)

Fishing for a fish that cost $2.99 a pound with a fish that cost $9.99 a pound ? Veerry interesting!! Actually, I have used shrimp that got freezer burnt for catfish bait and TORE THEM UP !! Doesn't take much, a little piece on a small treble hook.

Used to fish for catfish with shrimp when I was a boy. At times it was a great bait.;):)
