Thread: Shrimping With Castnets

I know that this is way off topic, but you guys have an infinate amount of wisdom and can at least point me in the right direction. I'll be hunting the specks in November but until then......................... I've bought a LEGAL 10' mesh 5/8 net and am headed to Jekkyl Isl. I'll be casting the shallows at night next to a channel and working the deeper channels by day. Can you share your adventures so that I might glean from your wisdom???....................... I looked for Shrimpie.com and couln't find it... Thanks

I went to Jekkyl Island a couple years ago and stayed at the famous hotel there. After the second day of three days there is was soooooo hotttttt that we couldnt bare going outside and had to come back down to central florida. funny how that works. I did see a lot of guys with crap traps but no one catching shrimp. My pappy used to go out a night and shine a light and they would come right up and then you can dip them out.

go to saltwater fishing forum under the main heading. There are 2 websites about shrimping listed.--shu
