Zo, love your videos. Thanks for taking the time and making the effort to show them here. Was up at Jax Beach first of August, surfcasting with "freshly dead" shrimp. The bait shop employee said they scoop out the overnight losses and sell them first instead of frozen shrimp. Said the fish would hit them hard, well before frozen. True words, and same price as the frozen. Spot, croaker, whiting, pompano and some small shark of unknown species. While you've proven live works extremely well, don't give up on those "freshly dead" ones.

When I was a kid, I used to get so upset at my dad because he would get up soooo early. Now, I'm upset because I miss him. Living up North now (it's actually the South) in Southern Missouri, some people can't believe that dad would actually buy live shrimp at bait shops to fish with. I think that is pretty cool that you mentioned something about keeping the shrimp cool. Dad used to always buy "block" ice and he would take his ice pick and bite off a chunk and put it into the bat bucket with the shrimp the night before. It slows down their metabolism and respiratory system. Now days when I do any fishing other than crawfishing, I buy the uncooked, frozen shrimp at Walmart since I can''t buy any live shrimp here. I just get my VA disabilty check on the first of every month but hopiing I can save some bucks to get one of those 278 dollar kyaks at Walmart so I can get back out on the water again. I have some old Babe Winkleman VHS tapes that I love to watch where he was bass fishing from a fishing innertube in Florida. I have one VHS tapes of him fishing with Mel Tillis which is pretty cool because I am friends with one of his daughters that works here in Branson, Connie Tillis. She loved the tape.

I would rather watch you fish on a video than most of these TV shows. You seem pretty genuine, informative and you have a good on camera personality. I wish you the best even though I know as much if not more than you about fishing I still find your approach and style intriguing to watch you're doing an excellent job with your camera and keep up the good work you're very informative for those who don't have as much knowledge. On the days that I can't make it out fishing I stay at home and watch your videos it's the next best thing . Your videos are appreciated for being real.

Cool vid! Quick tip: You will be amazed at how much better your reels work if you fill them up with line. It's a mistake to buy 150yd filler spools of braid and tie it right to the spool. Better is to partially fill the spool with mono backing and then top it with the braid.That gives you much easier, more accurate casting, not to mention the drag is designed to work with a full spool and tension increases the more line comes off. Keep the vids coming!

Quick tip, freeze a couple bottles of water and when frozen, put one in the bucket. It'll stay frozen in the bottle for many hours and will keep the shrimp cool. Take the other bottle or two with you fishing and when one eventually thaws out you throw another in. Hope that helps.

Lost count of the times I have watched this gem of a video, Marty. So much so that it prompted me to have a quick look around to see if there are any bait shops in the UK selling live shrimp. I dare say there may well be a few, but all the stuff Google threw my way was either shrimp for a marine fish tank in your home or mysis shrimp as food for the fish in your tank! It would seem that if you want shrimp for bait over here, you have to go collect them yourself from along the shoreline. Anyway, thanks again for the great little film here mate. I seem to enjoy it more and more as time goes on :)

@SaltySeaCaptain

Yeah but live shrimp get bigger fish and ripping the tail off and shoving the hook all the way up into its body is going to kill it way faster. hooking it in the top of the head let's the shrimp move around a lot easier and keeps it alive longer. If I have dead shrimp or only smaller fish are biting the tail method is really awesome.

Hi just found your channel and your videos are really enjoyable! It's interesting you hook the shrimp through the thorax, here in the UK I use a really similar technique with live prawns under a bubble float for sea bass. I hook them through the second to last tail segment with a circle hook and set the drag low. I find hooking them like this keeps them lively longer and increases hook ups.

The problem I had with using shrimp is that every time I cast one, it was gone within 10 seconds. I attached a smaller hook and a small piece of shrimp. I caught the little bastards eating my bait and used THEM for bait. I cut them up and caught quite a few redfish and trout. The shrimp were just too delicate and where easlily stolen by little fish.
