Hey Forest, I've curious, why not use chub meat instead of shrimp, seem like shrimp are kind of expensive? I know driving to Lost creek is a ways, especially when you can buy shrimp at the grocery store but you can buy chub meat at Sportsman's.
Curt, I don't have time or energy to make the drive to Lost Creek, and I can buy raw frozen shrimp already peeled with tails still on in a large bag at WinCo. They always have it and it lasts me a couple months or more without all the work to catch, gut, and bag Chub. I'm retired, I have 3 pensions and no debts, no mortgage, no truck payment, so the the cost really isn't an issue.
OK, just thought I'd let you know. I don't gut my chubs because it all adds to the scent in the water when your fishing, I just vacuum pack mine but as I said you can buy them at Sportsmans already packaged. I can understand not wanting to deal with the mess of cutting them up when you use them. Guess I'm too cheap to use shrimp, especially when they taste so good.
