My dad , my cousin, and my uncle went back with out live shrimp on 8-12-18 and kept 6 reds and 4-5 trout. Cousin went to get shrimp then go meet them at launch but he put 2 quarts of shrimp in a five gallon bucket with no areator and they were dead 30 minutes later when they went to put them in live well. In summer heat only 1/2 qt to five gallons water and definitely have to have areator!!! And he left his bait out while getting net for my uncle and a redfish pulled his new rod in water! That boy! Anyway they caught lots of undersized fish and no doubt they would of done better with live shrimp.
