Peppermint Shrimp???

[sergiotami]

This may be a dumb question... But is it possible to get peppermint shrimp at your local bait shop??? I live in Victoria and its hard to travel to Corpus, SA, Houston or Austin just to buy them since we have no one locally who sells them....

You might because they are caught off of the gulf coast

Taking the kids fishing this weekend, we tend to use live bait, will have to check out their tanks.....:)

I have never seen them for sale at any bait shops in Corpus. They tend to only sell the larger shrimps (pink and brown), they are easier to catch then the pepps and most people want larger bait than a pepp.

most peps are found in rocks so you wont ever see any for sale in bait shops...

Good to know... So whats the best way to catch them??? Cast net along the jetties???

You will need to go at night and drag/scrap a net up along the rocks. They like to hide on the overhangs and in the crevices so a cast net won't get anything but maybe some small bait fish...
