I've seen people discussing this combo pretty often. Is it just plain old marshmallows that you use for smores or what?

yup..but the mini mallows. Just enough to float the shrimp or nightcrawler
wet the hook a little before putting the marshmallow on so it doesnt rip up the marshmellow as much.. and i usually thread the shrimp onto the hook as opposed to hooking it anywhere , in my experience this helps to keep the hook point exposed which means less of a chance to mess up the hook set
Thanks for the info. I think I'm going to try my luck there tomorrow night, will let you guys know how it goes...
How do you keep the marshmallow on? I've tried before and all of a sudden I see my marshmallow floating off the hook.
try wetting the hook before putting it on to avoid tearing the marshmallow more than needed, use a baitholder hook with the barbs on the shank and make sure it isnt too big ... make sure you dont put the marshmallow above the eye of the hook as it will make the hole in the marshmallow bigger
Went last night with no success. Weren't many people on the big lake and it didn't look like anyone caught any. I had Chris pond to myself and didn't even get a nibble. I saw a ton of tilapia but I didn't have any worms and they wouldn't bite anything I threw their way. If you want to catch some Tilapia they all hold up at the nets. Overall a day sitting around fishing beats a day working. Good luck to anyone else thinking of going.
