Catching ghost shrimp?

[a/cwizard]

I catch shrimp in the canals around the house with a small mesh dip net.My question is does any body make a trap or have plans on how to make one and what for bait?

[Somefishguy]

i think if yo cut the top off a bottle and invert it, glue or silicone it back on and stick some bait then you could catch some. They will have an easy time getting in but harder time getting out

As for bait I am not too sure but perhaps shrimp pellets or something similar

[PhishPhreek]

check with fish & wildlife about a licence / permit & limits (number you are allowed to take per day)

Academy sells a nice 2 part plastic minnow trap.

Where did you see them selling at?

[dblondfemme]

THey are shrimp.. they will eat just about anything..but so will a lot of things found in creeks, streams and ditches around here. I would throw in shrimp pellets or large cichlid pellets or even a piece of shrimp or crackers, or even an algae wafer. Those are all things my shrimp of any color like to eat.

Try dog food. It worked for chating killies out of my pond.

[makatak123]

where do you guys live because in pond and streams there are only bass,minows,and perch and some kind of needle fish.

[Doug A]

I have never seen the needle fish, were are they?

There also Gambisa afinis everywere.

[Mzungu]

Needle fish as in gar?

[makatak123]

i dont know if they are gar or not there like a nettle fish but bigger with black spots on them and its in hempstead.

[a/cwizard]

My pond dried up this summer with no rain and killed all my sunfish largemouth and warmouths but them stupid minnows or gambisa made it.No needle or killies might have got eaten if there ever was.

What are you going to do with them. I haven't eaten any since I was in China 15yr ago ("dancing shrimp"). I never see them on menus here.

ghost shrimp right? just buy some the are usually 15-20 for a buck at any fish store if you are going to buy a $5 trap that's like buying 100 from the store
