Rob ... I'll disagree. But it's conditional. Bait can be deadly to both upstream and downstream fish fished certain ways. I've been fishing a bit of shrimp the past few years in a newer style for us and well in excess of 90% of the fish are hooked in one place: smack in the snout, over and over. Of all the different methods I fish, never have I seen so many fish hooked in the exact same place.

Just an FYI
