Digga90 Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 threw out a killie trap at my dock with a fresh bunker head for bait..10 minutes i have almost 2 dozen grass shrimp, all around 1 inch long, some slightly bigger. i know these get eaten, im already thinking of how theyd taste sauteed in some garlic, butter and red pepper..so how do you fish these lil buggers?

magikbbg Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Honestly I don't know how people fish them unless you fish off a boat or dock somewhere with weak current.... Wouldn't they just rip off ? I'd eat em lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magikbbg Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 In east Asia - they're not grass shrimp. But small shrimp are salted then sun dried ! They're good for broth , stir fry or main course. A famous type is the Sakura Ebi from Shizuoka prefecture japan. Not to be confused with the Chinese one that's pets.

slip n slide Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 I don't fish bait,only flies,but I've been using an imitation of those shrimp the last few years that the bass seem to not be able to refuse.Not so much oceanside but in the bays around cockle beds,inlets,flats at flood and near the edges on low,cutbank/marsh type areas...anywhere you might find them. A 36" fish and the flies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magikbbg Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 Well, maybe if you're dropping it right down , a high low rig? Or just a single dropper loop in middle with lead on bottom ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishtrek Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 Thread one or two on long shaft hook. let it drift back with a small handful of shrimp. Use this method for weakfish also. If fresh water fishing just one shrimp on the hook gets very good bites. Have Fish? Will Travel! "Many men go fishing all their lives without knowing that it is not the fish they are after."....

LI BeachRat Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 Ok, little history here. first you have to keep them alive. Usually in wet sea grass or news print when using, when not a fine mesh killey cart. Now you use a fine wire hook and put two on with little or no weight. Than at the end or beginning of the tide chum them by taking one and pinching it just behind the head and dropping it into the water one at a time, drifting them back into a bridge ( something like clam chumming ). This was how the old timers fished for Weakfish, a real art. In Eroupe they make a Shrimp scampi out of very small shrimp the same size as our grass shrimp, it's more like a shrimp soup but unbelievably good.
