I'll also have the cast net handy to grab some bait, and that brings me to my latest basic question. Can you catch shrimp wading on Holly Beach? Would a floating spotlight help? If you can't do it now, is there a time of year when you can?


Sure you can catch shrimp along the beach. Mostly in late summer early fall. I've filled a 48qt full of shrimp one time when I was there at the right time. There were so many they were poking me in the leg and jumping all over the top of the water while i was wading for trout. Couldn't stand it so I went grab the cast net.

If the water is clean you can also see the schools of pogies. That's good trout bait also.
