Purchase a casting net with a proper mesh size for catching shrimp. Casting nets have weights attached around them that allow the net to sink and capture creatures caught under where you throw it in the water. The smaller the size of the fish you’ll be catching with the net, the smaller its mesh size will need to be.
For shrimp, use nets with a mesh size opening of 3/16 to 1/4 inches across.
Prepare shrimp baiting poles to cast your net around. You can make these by taking a several foot long PVC pipe with a 1-inch diameter, and securing a metal pole into one side of it. The metal pole will serve as your anchor for digging the bait pole into the silt at the bottom of the water.
Before use, put reflective tape on the poles, and mark them with the number on your boat’s shrimping license.
Gather fish bait and clay to make bait balls. Fill several cups with a 2:1 ratio mixture of fish bait and clay respectively, and pour them into a larger mixing bucket. Add water until it thickens enough to allow you to mold the mixture into small flat patties, which you can allow to sit in the sun to dry until they are no longer sticky.
You’ll want to be making about 2-3 bait balls per each pole you have out.
Place bait poles according to your state’s regulation on their location. Before placing them in the water, know that poles must be within a set distance from one another, and far enough away from the bait poles of other shrimp catchers, as well as docks, public landings, and boat ramps. A maximum number of poles allowed may be enforced.
Unattended bait poles may be confiscated.
Cast your net in the area of the bait poles. Coil the rope around your weak hand, and make several loops you’ll reel it in with. Hold two sides of the net by the lead line on its edge, and with your upper body, swing the net out, throwing the sides away from each other as you do. The net should open up wide before hitting the surface. When out on the water, cast in the direction of a pole, or in the area between two poles.
Practice tossing your cast net in your backyard until you feel comfortable covering a wide area and far distance.
The shrimp can sometimes be harder to spot due to the dissolving bait balls, but you should be able to see generally where they are in the water, and where you should be casting your net.
Pull the rope back in to close the net around your catch. Reel the net back in, wrapping the excess rope around your arm as you do. Back your boat up to gently to tug your net through the water, before pulling it out of the water. Be careful for any sudden movement from the creatures caught inside.
Place any shrimp you happen to catch in a medium-sized iced cooler to keep them fresh while you continue catching more.
