How to keep shrimp alive

[@timfields6130]

Hey Robbie, Another great video. I use LIVE (saltwater) shrimp all the time when saltwater fishing. I use an aeration pump and have kept 100+ (average size 15 cm) shrimp alive and healthy in only 11 liters of water for days. I do however use a 30 liter bucket with a lid that has an opening to reach in, cause those shrimp are so lively they will jump out. I also use dry dog food in a perforated 3.78 liter plastic container that I have hanging in the water behind my place. It attracts the minnows and smaller pan fish, which in turn attracts the larger fish. Happy fishing and tight lines. Tim, Hernando, Fla.

Hi mate, thanks so mucvh for the great feedback. Glad to know my system seems to work all around the world!

[@adamheazlett1179]

Your talking prawns brother in Australia saltwater shrimp are about 35 - 40mm

[@adamheazlett1179]

Have a look Chris Bamman great adventures and cooks pretty fancy tucker.

[@anthonytran4880]

Yea the bois another vid. Been extremely keen for this.

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks so much buddy. I hope you enjoyed it.

[@mrgreenswelding2853]

That's a great bucket. Yabbies will climb up the air tube to get out. I had found some outside when I used to fish for them . That's the only way they could escape.

[@Trojwaterman]

as long as the air stone makes the water surface move around the water will be aerated, also a larger surface area and cooler water will absorb more oxygen. Cool boxes make great live bait carriers . Just thought I would put that out there :)

[@robbiefishing]

Hi mate thanks so much for putting that great information out there. I love the foam boxes for keeping yabbies alive.

[@adamheazlett1179]

The Engel live bait esky is tough and works well@@robbiefishing

Always good to see some shrimpage!

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks buddy. Heaps more in tomorrow nights video.

[@TheGreatoutdoorsAndGourmetVic]

@@robbiefishing Great!

[@RKJFishing]

North-westerly hurricane hahaha. I definitely need one of those buckets, shrimp are buggers to try to grab out of the bottom of a normal bucket or tub that's full of water lol. The other thing that is crucial when keeping shrimp alive is water temperature, they can be quite finicky if the temp rises or drops too quickly so shade is your best friend in hot weather. I suppose you have the option of changing the water out for fresh cool water with that bucket as well seeing it has the basket part. Great video mate, definitely one of the best baits you can find.

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks buddy. Absolutely spot on about the shade and change in temperatures.

[@Ramy_Ramz]

Where's the best place to find shrimp around Australia you reckon sir? And to help fix the aerator's battery gap a bit of aluminium foil will do.

[@mudrox05]

Hey Robbie thanks for another great chillaxed video. With saltwater shrimp you can put them in a container with saw dust (not treated pine ), wrap it in a tea towel and put them in the fridge, they would keep for weeks. They kinda just go to sleep and go nuts when they warm up... Not sure if it works with freshwater shrimp.. 🦐🦐🦐.....

[@robbiefishing]

Hey Willy thanks for the great tip. I must try this and see how it goes.

[@Scubajunky]

Really, weeks out of water ?

[@mudrox05]

Really..

[@lethaloutdoors001]

Wind has been crazy latley. i saw this one on the instagram and ive been waiting for dinner to end so i can watch it haha !

[@robbiefishing]

The wind is driving me mad mate. I hope you enjoyed it. Part two tomorrow night is where all of the action is!

[@lethaloutdoors001]

@@robbiefishing keen for it boss

[@T.J-and-Soul]

Hi mate. Another good thing is to drill a hole in the top of a 10lt esky and poke your tube through it. This helps keep the bait cool and you can get them out using an aquarium fish net.

[@robbiefishing]

Hey mate that soulds like an excellent idea. Especially being able to regulate the water temperature to a greater extent.

[@T.J-and-Soul]

@@robbiefishing I would have another esky with your drinks in it also a couple of 600ml bottles of frozen water then put one in the shrimps water if it's real hot.

[@SEEYAIAYE]

Seems like a cool idea for keeping Shrimp alive, we'll catch a bunch and most end up dead at the end of the day even when we refresh the bucket with river water, also jeeze that wind at the end.

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks mate. I have kept them and changed the water regularly. This works well as long as you are next to the water. The wind was insane! In part 2 tomorrow night I am bait fishing in between checking the nets and the wind blows my fork shaped stick over. hahaha

[@loudmouf9246]

A relative of mine would go shrimping in Mildura and sell 500 shrimp for 50$. Money aside, I was amazed that he would count each shrimp as he packaged them. So I counted a bag. 500. He sold them to people that feed their fish live food. Also it’s a good way to introduce kids into fishing’.

[@robbiefishing]

Catching shrimp sure is a great way to introduce kids to fishing mate.

[@jontyfishing7292]

Very good video robbie I find the size never matters and even if there tiny I just throw too on at once

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks buddy. I agree 100%. I personally prefer the mid sized ones the best.

[@nate.f5380]

Great video Robbie, catching shrimp is pretty fun.

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks Nate, you're not wrong buddy.

[@kameronmanks7211]

Kfc chicken bones are the best bait, for yabbis and shrimp. The oil from the bones attract them. Try it Robbie

[@kelvinmontanaro437]

Something we've always done which is pretty similar if you don't have the special bucket is to use the cheap plastic berley buckets saltwater fishermen use to keep them and just hang it off the side of the boat

[@robbiefishing]

Hey Kelvin what a fantastic idea. I use to have a keeper net. It was my late grandfathers. Might still even be in my dads shed. Same idea but much bugger. Your idea is awesome, I may have to try that! Shrimp Hack 101.

[@jacktiver8906]

Great video Robbie, just letting you know that those freshwater fish are also found in the T-Garden creek.

Hey Jack thanks heaps buddy. Yeah I noticed that when I was yabbying there a couple of weeks back.

The best way I have kept shrimp at home was put them in a fish tank with a pump lasted all through winter my pop taught me that and it works a treat mate

[@robbiefishing]

Hey buddy, that will work a treat! Be careful putting them in with fish though as I believe that too many of them can alter the ph level of the water and kill the fish.

@@robbiefishing yep it really does I've tried that with hold fish lol they didn't last long at all so now I just got the tank for shrimp when I have time to go out and get some for fishing.

[@kouher7062]

Were you caught them at??? I like….

[@ashleyflanigan8038]

The best way to keep shrimp alive at your fishing hole, is to keep them in the trap. Just take out what you need for the hook. Shrimp are the best spring time bait, been catching plenty of yellowbelly and redfin all on shrimp.

[@robbiefishing]

Absolutely mate. Only problem is that if the shrimp are slow and you only catch a couple, you wouldn't want to risk them getting out. LOL

[@lachiestew1410]

Are shrimp good for trout bait?

[@robbiefishing]

Hey mate I reckon they would be. The thing with trout is that they are usually found in cooler water (headwaters) whereas shrimp are found in warmer waters (lower altitudes). I reckon if tyhere was a waterway that had both that the trout would love them mate.

[@mohammednovalija]

Does shrimp taste as nice as yabby meat ?

[@robbiefishing]

Hi Mohammed, my personal preference is for yabbies. I find them sweeter. Shrimp are OK, but they're a nightmare to shell and there's not much meat for your hard work.

[@gregseymour371]

The nets are to far out need to have them close to bank it's safer for them out in midstream their gunna be fish food
