great video, thx, I don't have a boat right now but would like to get into cast netting for shrimp,, do you think a taped net is advisable for bank throwing or should I go with a regular non taped net? thx
Good info Jeremy. I have yet to go try that. Do you make your own nets with the taped bottom or buy them. I was thinking on doing one myself with duct tape? One of these days I'll get there. Tight lines.....
5000 seemed extraordinarily high. I had no clue though so I looked up how many pounds of shrimp a 5 gallon bucket holds (35-40) then how many medium sized shrimp there are in a pound (about 40-60 without heads). Anyways ballpark is it'll take about 1500 standard eater size shrimp to fill your bucket. Highly approximate but at least its much more obtainable than 5000 lol Are you allowed to use a small trawl net in Florida? In texas you can for a small fee and I've always been tempted but honestly have no clue where to begin pulling the thing and wonder how long one can pull one before losing it to a snag. Or worse pulling the stern under. So I've held off.
Excellent video, only thing I was wishing to see was what was really in the net the minute you opened it
During the day, is the tide a factor? Does it help to have a chum ball? Thanks !!
Great video, thanks !
Top pocket cast nets are popular in Australia
What does the bottom finder look like when you’re on them?
do you have the link to get the green net?

What kind of depth is there from town out to shrimping ? How much of a tide is there ?
There isn’t much tide difference in that area. Maybe a few ft. Depth is around 18 to 25 ft.
Do you have to go way up the river to south of the Buckman, or can they be found further north?
They catch them from the mouth of the river past Palatka
You can catch them at other places. There are a lot from the Mayport inlet to the Dames point bridge too.

Check out our taping your net video
Yeah we take them ourselves. Just make sure it is a good quality duct or gorilla tape.

What's the best shrimps season
In North Florida I like August through October but sometimes you catch them later too.
Like to see more shrimping in video less everything else
Using a cast net, DO NOT wear nice clothes. They will be trashed
