great Jim ... ill be watching this. really like the idea of shrimp. being an aquarist for many years ... i know how much fishes love the shrimp.

Got pics of those Trout Jim? Hope you caught a tasty dinner!

Jim;; about 2 or 3 years ago; I tried using shrimp here on old hickory lake for blue gill n stuff;;; catfish wore it out !!  everytime I baited with shrimp;; catfish was sure to hit !!  I could pull up;; move a mile away; try it again;; catfish were everywhere it seemed !!
