Live bait shrimp - $0.33 each

[muton44]

Live bait shrimp are not cheap!!!!! And how many of those live shrimp are dead or too sloppy to fish with by 10:00 AM.

We are paying $0.33 per shrimp... that's $20.00/quart... 50 bait shrimp/qt.

When 1/2 of the live bait dies or is no longer fishable by 10 AM, I really purchased only 1 pint (30 live shrimp) for my $20.00... the cost has changed from $20/qt. to $20/pt. from 5 AM to 10 AM (5 hours).

That's $0.67 for 1 live shrimp now.

The Dog Days of Summer are here again as predicted and the cost of live bait shrimp is higher this summer than last summer. But, live bait puts fish in the box this time of year, so much better than plastics.

I heard that some bait camps are now selling live bait shrimp for $0.38 per shrimp... doesn't matter whether 36 count shrimp or 80 count shrimp - the price is the same.

25 shrimp cost a smooth $10 including tax... save the dead shrimp for the hard heads, piggy perch, gaff-tops, skip jacks, crab bait and chum.

What do you guys think about the price of live bait shrimp?
