The wife and I and my brother-in-law and his wife are going to Brunswick and Jekyll this weekend to go shrimping. Do any of you guys know some really good places to catch shrimp? I have read that the shrimp are peaking now and running good. Any suggestions would be helpful and greatly appreciated.

We've got a charter captain on the board. Get him to carry you. I fished Lazaretto Crk around Tybee for shrimp,don't know a ton about Glynn waters.

Can you use bait there?

Edawg has your answer.
Duct tape your net though.

I've heard that taping the net is best. Casting on low tide is best too isn't it?

It depends how and where you are shrimping. If you are deep hole shrimping, then taping your net or getting a taped net helps. This time of year, you can catch plenty at lower tides on muddy banks where you see what are called bleeds which are small streams of water draining out of the marsh. Those are much easier to find if you are not familiar with an area. Deep hole spots are not shared by many.

Kingfish?

If by "fishing" you mean beating off an oily guido behind the porta potti at the ramp in exchange for a net full of 'haden, then yes.

Thanks guys, I know about a couple of promising spots, but have never tried them, and haven't casted before, but it seems pretty simple. Using a 5' cast net. Couple of folks I work with went about 5 weeks back and caught 96 qts in two days, only problem, it was in a private area that I can't get to. Seems like some small sloughs will be good bets tho.

It is not as easy as it sounds if you can't bait, throw a net, and you don't know the water

This. The deep holes is where you will find the large adult shrimp. You can find them up and down the intercoastal and in the creeks, but you just have to find the right ones.
Along the edge of any marsh as the water is leaving the grass, they have to come out, especially at the feeder creeks. You can get a lot of small ones there, but watch out for oyster banks that will tear the net.
5 ft net is minimal, but if you haven't casted before, it will be all you can handle. For the deep holes, you need a larger taped net.
If you really want to do it right, put up markers and put out bait balls. Wait a six pack, make the rounds, wait a six pack, make the rounds.

What does "taping " mean? What does it do? Make the neat spread better?
Is it better to shrimp when the tide is moving, or is low tide better?
Inquiring minds want to know!

The weights of a net actually close towards each other as they fall. At 20' it closes a good bit. When you tape the edges or buy a net with a ribbon near the edge of the weights, the drag causes the net to actually open as it sinks.

I thought you were supposed to be well-versed in physics?

At Tech, taping means the Breakfast Club thingy
