Awesome ! I was getting ready to post a question on doing this when I saw this post...So I will ask here instead...I don't know too much about doing this....I know I occaisionally snag a few nice shrimp in my cast net while getting finger mullet for bait and my wife really would like for me to learn how to get on the shrimp.
I have a boat and I am up here in fernandina - I understand some people bait up and wait for a specific tide (which one?) to throw but I have seen others post that they just find a deeper hole (how deep should I be looking for?) and throw over it.....I have gotten fat shrimp off the flats where I am netting mullet in the heat of the day but it sounds like he holes are the best bet for a lot at once - Where should I be looking for these holes? directly in the ICW or can I target deep bends in creeks right off the ICW? I also read that you can spot them on a sounder but I'm not sure how to distinguish shrimp for little finfish.....
I've been trying to research this but seems like a lot I find is not specific to our area and NE FL is a lot different than other parts of the state....Thanks for any advice I appreciate it ! My wife will really appreciate it if I can bring home a couple of lbs of shrimp that isn't just left over bait too....
THANKS !
Bob
Don't let it fool ya BBrown or do doesn't really matter to me. They ate good enough in the scampi to my family brotha
solid. thanks for the report. so glad to see we have a run at all. i thought all this rain would have stopped the run before it started.
555 - what part of the river were you throwing in? Those look better than the ones I was getting in Green Cove last Friday and better numbers too.
Mandarin early morning in 10 ft of water to 13 as the sun got higher
This pic is one of the size I was fishin with and the larger ones were kept for eating
from a boat or dock? I am dying to shrimp but never have done it.
