Re: shrimp for tog?
First used shrimp years ago on a 6 pack in Va in May. We had greenies but the Captain pulled out a bag of cooked shrimp. When the greenies were just ok we tried the shrimp. Game on. Saw more 10# fish that day than any day since.
Being a group of very good fisherman (lol) we thought we could out do the captain. We went out and bought fresh, shell on and shell off. Spent a few bucks. The next day showed how smart we were. The cooked outfished the raw fresh. It maybe the pink color.
Up here in the North country I have found shrimp (cooked) to be a good January bait. I don't bother any other time of the year.
Last spring I fished with some buds in Delaware on a boat that the taxman grabbed during the winter. Locals used shrimp and caught quite a few tog. Most were small, many throwbacks.
We fished greenies and did much better in terms of size.
