SHRIMP BAIT CURE RECIPE
Shrimp Bait Cure
Shrimp is one of the best baits for fishing for steelhead, salmon, rock cod, and more. The
problem with shrimp is that it breaks off the hook easy. There are a few options to make
your shrimp or prawns more tough and durable so that they last longer, stay on your
hook longer, and stay fresh and ready for use.
You can also use dye to dye your shrimp many different bright colors to your go to color for fishing. There are
also some shrimp cures that you can buy and easily mix for an alternative. Shrimp and Prawns that have been
cured work great for bait to fish for rockcod, rockfish, lingcod, cabezon, surf perch, halibut, greenling, striped
bass, crab, or other game fish along the coast.
