Frozen grass shrimp are useless. Keep in mind that you would be chumming with a live entity. When tossed over the side, they naturally swim for the bottom. I just cannot picture a dead shrimp swimming anywhere but floating away on the surface. Another point is that when they are fresh they are very fragile. Giving them the deep freeze is not going to make things any better. It is always going to be a concern on how to bait a hook with these creatures, make them look more tempting than the live shrimp you are chumming with, not to bust them apart getting them on a hook, and still leave one alive to tempt a bass. Actually it turns out to be be not that bad to implement but the key is to be able to catch large quantities of them. I have found this not to be so simple in CT, but easy in Jamaica Bay. I have caught hundreds of grass shrimp in my killie traps. Not enough! Take a gallon jug and dump what you have caught in it. Now you will have a better understanding of how many you really need. If you cannot fill up the jug to the top with live grass shrimp, then you do not have enough ammunition to even begin chumming. |
