Title: How to harvest ghost shrimp
Post by: polvoronn on July 02, 2004, 10:39:56 AM

Can someone gimme a hand with this?  I'm not sure exactly how to go about getting these guys (I've never tried before).  I did a bit of a search and I could only find something about a hand pump and digging.

So yeah, just wanna know:

1 - how to catch them
2 - where to catch them

Thanks!  :)

yup Spanish Banks at low tide is the place fer ghosties.......... helped my buddy get some the the other day....also saw Wildlife officials down there rescuing a seal or otter......it got stuck on the mudflats and was crying the blues (more like a bleating sound), the wildlife folks had dug a hole and were splashing water on the seal to keep it cool before the transfered it to a portable water tank and released it in the water......cool.... 8)
