Re: shrimp
G'day shrimpy.
There are a few good baits for shrimp.
For freshwater shimp, I've had most success using either a fatty offcut from a barbie chop, bacon, liver and/or a few gumleaves.
For salty shrimp, either some bread soaked in tuna oil, fish frames or liver again.
You can buy a cheap aerator for about $10 at most fishing tackle outlets that will keep shrimp alive in your bucket whilst fishing, but for long periods, it's best to keep them in a fishtank.
Cheers, Slates

Howdi shrimpy
If you get stuck with out any biat for your traps, try soap it really does work. But the best bait that I have ever used is the left overs from a baked or bbq chook.Freeze it and than take with you on the next trip.

Re: shrimp
As Bribie Doug said soap is as good as anything.
When nothing else is available you can use gum leaves.

Re: shrimp
For the chap who uses dead carp as bait for shrimp............
ISN'T THAT ILLEGAL?
I THINK SO!

Re: shrimp
Is it illegal? I don't think so. Atleast not in NSW. You just can't use fish including carp as a Live bait in NSW freshwater.

Re: shrimp
I THINK NOT DAZPARRA!!!
As Bassmansrc said it is only illigal to use them as livebait or to release them back into the river live and trust me THEY WEREN'T STILL MOVING!!!

Re: shrimp
Rumpig & Bassmansrc!
Sorry guys....... i hate to tell you, but.......
THIS IS ILLEGAL! ???
I quote here from the Queensland Government Primary Industries Fishing in Queensland Book, Second Edition page 17, information on noxious species (which carp is)....
Quote " Carp are a listed noxious species in Queensland. This means it is unlawful to possess live carp or use them as bait, ALIVE or DEAD!"
Stop using them....... ???
Hope this helps........... lol

Re: shrimp
Oh yeah, and what does it say about NSW and Vic ???
Banana benders do some funny things at times (like supporting the reds and maroons )
That law is obviously to stop people from carting carp around the place to use as bait JUST IN CASE!
