Ira Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 There's glass shrimp which are usually just something someone caught from a local stream. That's it, no other shrimps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kim&Dan Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 yep there are shrimp that you can catch in streams... went shrimping last weekend and got heaps How do you go about catching them? I'd love to get a few as well! Is it easy? :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faran Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Go out when it's dark with a torch and a big fish net. Catch stuff when you see eye-glow. Some will be eels, some will be fish and some will be shrimp. You'll soon figure out what is what and where the good spots are in your area.

antwan Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 I have found that day time is also quite effective for catching shrimp, however, im not sure about night time, is there more at night BlueandKim? there's tonnes of these little guys around sitting on the rocks.

Faran Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 They're out day and night. Easiest to spot them at night with a torch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 are we talking fresh water or saltwater locations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wok Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 I got mine during the day in a freshwater stream. Don't need a torch to see them either.. just a good wide net so you can catch em... fast little buggers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
