Agreed, a list of shops in each city and what they carry. Could inclued a note describing its location in the store too.

It would be a good advertising campain for the site Bozz-Man.Perhaps sporting good stores would like a l;il spotlight being that we are all intertwinned anyways.Maybe it could be a benneficial post for stores and sportspersons alike.

Someone had started a thread about this a little while back, here is the link: bait stores and how to find them For sand shrimp, try Joe's Outdoors. They are open by 9:00am and have most anything and I recall seeing a store from the freeway while traveling through Mt. Vernon on my way to Birch bay last summer.

I wasnt meaning a thread so much.I was thinking more of a link to stores.Sand Shrimps is what I wanted.I looked at some in Marysville but they were sleeping.(dead or near)Lincs used to carry Sand Shrimp but no more.My nearest Joes is Kent or Issaquah.

Polution and the act of polluting has impacted the local sand/Ghost shrimp some.
The hardest part is not digging them or finding them.
I:chef: f your traveling and you need them they have a 3 to 4 day Refer life in prime conditions#-o :colors:
In this case Bigger is not better:-# :cheers: for metal/smarty pants!lol

Oh !!! do you mean I shouldnt use 2-3 large shrimp on a 10/0 hook????Muahaha.Some years back in the mid 70's I'd fish an area on the Green called the NC Machine hole right on Interurban.Sandshrimp in that spot produced limits daily for us.My fishing bud and myself came up with an idea to help put sand shrimp on w/o breaking the soft shell.We actually had a small device to thread the shrimp on the hook.I still use it today.I tried selling it at one time but ended up giving them all away.I like using sand or ghost shrimp for metals.I drift eggs more but I prefer to plunk shrimp.Those scents just arent the sameto me.

Holiday Sports sells shrimp. It's where highway 20 crosses I-5.
