    Ghost Shrimp

    I see people are using regular shrimp but there has been no mention of ghost shrimp lately.
    Has the beach replenishment made a difference in them being around?

    The daytime higher tides often makes pumping ghost shrimp more difficult (as if it wasn't labor intensive enough already ;-)
    Plus the pletherea of the little warm water nibblers in the surf and especially around the pier often makes it a tragic waste of time.

    That being said, I haven't pursued them in the areas that were directly affected by the recent dredging but I found some 100 yards from the pier two weeks ago (and PLENTY of sandfleas too).

    Hope this helps!

    Yes, you always have something helpful to share
    In July I will be staying down towards Fort Morgan
    Now I know to try to work it at low tide
    Maybe I will have some luck

    Thank you
