Catching Grass Shrimp
« on: March 18, 2008, 04:04:28 PM »
I am not even sure this is doable. But if it is, what do you use, and where and when is a good time. especially if anybody has any info for forked river or barnagat bay area.

I am guessing a throw net, but I never used one and not sure if I can, heard many say they bought them and never learned to use them.
Later for now,

We used to catch loads of them in the same traps you use for minnows.

Around bulkheads and piers.

Minnow trap in an area where you know the grass shrimp hang out.  Will fill the thing in a short time.
