Re: How to catch tog with shrimp.....

How did you get the rash on your feet?

Re: How to catch tog with shrimp.....
 

I used my toes to bait the hook:). I had this back in may maybe poison ivy maybe psoriases. but either way I try and protect my skin as much as possible. That rash took me almost a month to get over, never want to go thru that again!

I could have had something on my hands, P.Ivy, or fish slime, or bait slime, whatever and when I changed my boots and socks touched my feet! no one is really sure how it happened, but it SUCKED!

The slime from the fish and the bait has always f**ked my hands up, so I learned to fish with the gloves, plus it's the brunt of a lot of jokes!

Steve I just got over with that same rash what you need to do is wash with Brown Soap Octagon brand. It removes any oils that cause dermatitis also Tecnu is another good cleansing product that remove the same oils that cause dermatitis.

Steve

Do you use shrimp for seabass also? If so did it work better then fresh clam

Re: How to catch tog with shrimp.....
 

I don't know if it works better than clam for seabass, but I will say I have caught plenty of seabass, and last year some cod while using the shrimp.

I am beginning to think I should have kept my shrimp secret to myself! but why be selfish!

go get em!:D

Re: How to catch tog with shrimp.....
