   you can but the hook all the way through the shrimp’s body!! u can guarantee u’ll get somethin that way!!
   insert the sharp end of the hook between the 2 blades of the shrimp tail, push all the shrimp forward through the hook, it will take the hook shape(which is still realistic), or just insert it for 2-3 parts of the shripm body

   that would be a perfect rig for sheephead, trop it close to the pilings along a structure like a bridge and it should work well

   umm yeah dead bait is ok depending on how your are rigging it and working it, and what fish you are targeting, although you have liked dead baits a fish will surely eat a live bait befor eating the dead one sitting on the bottom

    shoud try tube lures for barracuda, they stay near the surface and you will get some great reactions

    No, dude some fish don’t take dead bait. i don’t sea fish much so i’ll compare largemouth bass to catfish.

    Catfish: eats freaking everything
    bass: eats only living stuff

    TRUE FACT!
    you dont need live shrimp to catch big fish,
    raw dead fish found at local supermarkets work perfectly well,
    it doesnt matter if its live or dead raw, as long as there’s taste and smell, the fish will bite-

    what about hooking just raw shrimp from the grocery store? I have been reading about using it with and without the shell but do you hook the shrip the same way? I cant find anywhere on how to hook it correctly? great vid

    its not time consuming at all when u have a 8 – 10cm prawn. one small rubber band will leave the prawn able to walk around and ur hook sits perfectly. and with a prawn of that size the fish will tend to attack from behind, as i have been told by a number of fishermen from around here, because of the spike on the prawns head. perfect to catch barra. i cant wait for summer to come around so i can use live prawns.

    pardon me for asking but isnt that hook a little small to catch double figure sea bass?

    Why do you people talk about tying the bait on with string and stuff, do you realize how freakin time consuming that would be when your actually fishing? Just because you dont want your shrimp to fall off, if you hook it right it wont come off unless its being swallowed by a fish

    what?

    hooking it through the tail is more practical when your actually fishing. a fish wont attack from behind because of the spike, they will hit it from any direction to get it in there mouth.

    why dont u place the hook using small rubber bands, but facing the other way? keeps it alive for much longer. easier with bigger prawns of course. fish will attack the prawn from the rear to avoid the spikes at the front im told. thats how people do it here anyway.
