Bait Shrimp

Anybody have any luck netting shrimp around the bay? Heard the numbers a little further south were not good yet.

been catching several dozen each trip near the grass

Thanks. That’s good to know.

netted a few in the middle of muddy bay. I was netting menhaden and got 2-3 large shrimp in each cast

Tore the skrimps up on Saturday. Got more than my fair share for bait. Should have coolered some. :slight_smile: Leave the ferry landing and head left. Get to the bay and head upstream to the left. Go a few hundred yards and toss towards the grass on your right. Almost casted onto an 8’ gator, so keep your eyes open.

What tide?

I was there Saturday on the falling tide and caught plenty. They were small though. Some were decent bait size but we dumped a lot of them right back in because they were so small.
