Grass shrimp

[catsmeow]

Anyone now if there is some grass shrimp up in keyport at high tide. Want to take my grandson panfishing up in hunterton county in Friday. Grass shrimp are great bait for freshwater panfish. Thanks for any info...walt

I haven't seen any since late june early july. Mostly peanuts, spearing and mullets

Euro Tackle makes a micro finesse bait called the Gamma Scud that looks similar to a grass shrimp.

They work very well for me.

Just got back from keyport, just after high tide managed to get enough for tomorrow, have syrofam lined bait bucket, air pump and putting in ice packs to keep water cool, going to try mannys pond in Hoffman park outside of Clinton, first time going there. Hopefully shrimp will survive till tomorrow.....walt

Just looked up the gamma scud, looks really nice, do you rig it on a small jjig or just on a hook by itself, looks like a perfect artificial for grass shrimp, the panfish go crazy over the grass shrimp, need to be live.

How are you catching them? Scoop net in the marsh and eel grasses?

I put them on a small jig. The VMC Moon Eye jigs work the best for me.
