Going shrimping??

So... as you might of heard the shrimp have been running in the rivers... They are now very large and at the best eating size. Make sure shrimping is legal in your state before catching your own. This blog is not about a recipe on how to cook shrimp, but on how to make the BAIT or CHUM BALLS to catch them. This is my personal recipe that seems to work best. I'm sure plenty of other methods work great as well.

I mix in even parts
-Wet Cat Food (fish flavored only)
-Flour (no longer use mud, flour works better_
-Fish Meal
-Rock Salt

Mix well... you can even use a drill to mix depending on the amount you make. I usually do around 4 cups of each. If needed, add SMALL amounts of water. Too much water will mean your patties need to dry out for a few hours before baiting.

After mixing well, form hamburger like patties. Bait the area you will be shrimping just an hour or so before you are ready to throw your net!!
HAPPY SHRIMPING :)
