that open with the flow of the current. Shrimping is a mostly a night time
activity so you will need lights, submersible lights(in my opinion) works best as it illuminates
and attracts, so that you may see them like bugs to a porch light.
Shrimping
can be done from a
boat, seawall, or
bridge. The tides can be crucial. Recreational bag limits here in Florida are 5
gallons, check local regulations. The shrimp will run from October thru June, for
the shrimp on the east coast and July and August for shrimp in the ST. Johns
River NE Florida, you just have to go and see if they are running. Don't forget
to bring a fishing pole and bug repellant to keep you occupied while waiting for
them. The lights attract sea trout and other nocturnal predators and will hit a
rubber jig.
Another note: For every
shrimp net in the boat, a Florida saltwater license is required!
