Being new to the area, I was wondering if there were any good places where one could throw a cast net for shrimp, in the big bend? I'm from the Jacksonville area, and this is rather productive in the brackish waters of the St. Johns river. Any thoughts???
Good Luck

I grew up shrimping over around Jville and have looked around here for a spot but can't seem to find the right place. I've never tried it but I understand that they do pretty well off of Aligator Point during the right time of the year...which should be in the Fall if memory serves me correctly?
When I first moved here I went to the tackle shop and told them I needed some "shrimp meal" they just kinda looked at me dazed and confused.....
They sell that stuff by the Lb at Thrifty B&T.
If you find a spot let me know and I'll do the same.

Thanks for the help.. Have you ever heard of them casting in Ochloknee Bay where the water is more brackish? I will definitely let you know if I hear anything.
