Shrimp are a popular bait for fishing because they are readily available, relatively inexpensive, and effective at catching a variety of fish species. Shrimp can be used as bait for both saltwater and freshwater fishing. When using shrimp as bait, it is important to choose the right size and type of shrimp for the fish you are targeting.
Smaller shrimp are better for smaller fish, while larger shrimp can be used to catch larger fish. You should also consider the freshness of the shrimp. Fresh shrimp are more likely to attract fish than frozen or thawed shrimp. You can buy fresh shrimp at most grocery stores or bait shops.
