Do you like to fish?

[Mr. P]

Looks like September! Being from up north..blew my mind that I can just go to the creek, throw a net and catch shrimp! I still dont know why ANYONE would buy it!!

Just banging around the DNR site I see you can bait shrimp or not bait. I’ve never heard of baiting shrimp.

The non-resident license to bait in Sept.is $500! I can buy a lot of shrimp for $500 bucks.
On the other hand ‘without bait would only cost me $35. And the season looks like it starts in May.
I'm not clear on limit May-Dec on a boat though.
