If I'm using just a cast net and a light to go shrimping do I need to also get a shrimp baiting license in sc?
I already have a saltwater fishing license in SC and I've never gone shrimping before so if there are any pointers those are welcome also.
I'm not sure about the license, but you can peruse this link and find out- http://www.takemefishing.org/state/page/state-fishing/regulations/state/SC
However, here are some pointers on Cast-netting shrimp-
Find a sandy/muddy-bottomed inshore flat that is tidal influenced and has no rocks/oyster-beds or major weed-growth. (If you cast on top of oysters or rocks you will ruin your net!)
At low tide, "bait/chum" the area with a mixture of fish meal/bread crumbs ,fish flavored DRY catfood and mud. Distribute soft-ball sized "chum-balls" along a 50-70 Yrd area. (This procedure works best if you bait-up in the early day and begin cast-netting right before dark. Planning to go shrimping at the perfect tide with the perfect light level will dramatically increase your catch!)
Use (at least) a 6-8 FT cast net.
Seining can work, but poorly. Shrimp tend to jump over a seine as you get it closer to shore.
Use a flashlight to check for the Shrimps "glowing eyes". Cast net a 25-30 FT area for 5-6 casts, then LEAVE IT ALONE for 30-45 minutes! (This allows the shrimp to "re-stage" on your bait balls.)
A good idea is to bring along a childs hard-plastic pool. Why? Where are you going to dump your shrimp once there in the net?? And no, dumping them into a 5 gallon bucket doesn't work very well- you need to be able to OPEN the net to get the shrimp out......
Also, bring as many friends/family as possible. In Florida, I believe the law is still one 5 gallon bucket of HEADED shrimp per person. I don't know what the law is in SC- but I'm guessing it's going to be similar. So, the more people present the more shrimp you can take home.
Using this procedure my family never paid for Shrimp! It was not unusual for us to take home (in one night, with a good flood tide & full moon) 50-75 LB's of Shrimp! Bubba Gump had nothing on us! (lol)
Hope this extra info helps ya? Good luck!
