Quite a bit has been posted here on one of my original posts concerning shrimp bits. From most of what I've seen here, the fish are taking the shrimp just fine, but some of you are having trouble cathing the fish. Probably because the shrimp bits are too big, or not tough enough.
I am making a new batch this week. If anyone can give me detailed instructions on how to post pictures here, I will photograph the whole process, show the jigs (including the crappie colors I posted on that page), and show some fish. These will be fish caught just for this demonstration. I'm that confident in it.
(But, now it might take me a few days to learn how to post the pictures the right way. If you want to email detailed instructions, send it to [email protected] Or maybe there is another thread here that covers it. Just let me know.)
Thanks.

I'll post it for you Don, shoot me an e-mail.......or call me, I'll walk you through it.
I have been a lurker here for several years and finally decided to join in.
One thing that people may have trouble in getting the crappie to bite the shrimp is the
salt that is being used. In curing chicken livers for catfish bait you can't use
anything but plain salt. If you use salt with iodide the cured livers will not catch hardly anything.
Happy Fishing

porboy289, Welcome to the board, from California and thank you for that little tip. I will have to check the salt that I am using. I have been getting a few lite bites but thats all.

The mushroom picture I just posted has 271 KB on my PC picture folder, and when uploaded to my picturetrail site. It will post here without resizeing small to 147KB. But when using the program at this site, it will not unless its 147KB or less on jpeg pics.
