Whenever you have bait leftover, don’t throw it away.
First a fishing tip: Whenever you have bait leftover, don’t throw it away. If it’s still in good condition, immediately after you get home, freeze it for another day. Shrimp and minnows are hard to get at certain times of the year, or it is excellent to take for backup bait the next time you go fishing.
