In Australia we call it a Yabby, best found at low tide in tidal creeks. If you have plenty left over from fishing you can preserve them by dipping them into boiling water with a high sugar content then freeze them or refrigerate if using the next day. Metholated spirits is also good for preserving beach worms. Put worms in a jar of Metho and keep in fridge for the week or drain and freeze.
Great channel Bearded Brad. Enjoyed this video and how to make the pump. We typically go to St George Island the 2nd weekend in October every year. I usually catch sand fleas, but do you think ghost shrimp are in the gulf beach on SGI? If so, how do you typically like to hook them? Thanks
They are in the Gulf, they’re here in Alabama, I know they’re in Navarre but I’m not positive if they’re in SGI. I’m posting a video today that will show you how you need to hook them to keep them on the hook
You should pump it directly into a colender and itll wash the sand away and keep the yabbie in the colender. We call them yabbies/nippers here in Australia
I will still use it year around to try to find those pompano that are still around. This bait works well for everything though. I’ve caught a lot of black drum and red fish on ghost shrimp as well.
I made two pumps from you videos. Only had 2 opportunities, first time I struck out and second time I only caught small ones. Are there optimal conditions or time of year or any particulars to catching them. Thanks

Before moving to Navarre I used ghost shrimp for salmon and steelhead fishing in CA.
That’s awesome. I’ve never done any salmon fishing. Would love to go do that some time.
We live and fish near Galveston island, I built one and it worked, now our ghost shrimp are alot smaller but it worked thanks

Awesome! I’ll have to try that!
@@BeardedBrad92 dip them for about 5 seconds or so.
Wtf thanks man lol
Bank holiday?🤣🙀
Great how to vid on catching ghost shrimp and thanks for not disclosing my ghost shrimp spot in Navarre where there is an infinite supply! Lol
I actually did say where they are over there, then when I was editing, I was like yahhhh gonna take that out 😂
Thanks for the DYI just made one will see how good it works next week
A cousin of mine in Cape Breton once had one like yours and used it for razor clams in the Bay of Fundy.
That’s pretty cool!
You should do a ghost shrimp pump giveaway! Thanks for this, can’t wait to give it a try. Big fan by the way, thanks for the videos!
Made mine using your how to video. Works great.
Awesome! Glad it’s working for you! Have you been catching a lot on the ghost shrimp?
In Kentucky taking care of business, so unfortunately no.
I’ve yet to pump or use ghost shrimp. Gonna try on beach trip next month!
It’s an awesome bait!
Excellent info broh! Thk u so much
Great channel ,, learned a lot from it.

Thanks for sharing, I'll be checking your how to make one next.
Great video . We fish St George island in the state park every April do you know if there are ghost shrimp there.
I am not sure. You will just have to look around and see if you can find any of the mounds in the sand
Didja find any?
You should pump it directly into a colender and itll wash the sand away and keep the yabbie in the colender. We call them yabbies/nippers here in Australia
Nice bro . Thanks great video!
Yes sir!
Ghost Shrimp,,,never caught one. Are they good to eat? Like fry or boil
I don’t know anyone that has tried eating them, but they’re great bait for surf fishing!
Edible bait is a great thing. A survival tool (and can be tasty. I'll bet they taste a bit like mole crabs.
Always great videos
What’s park you catch the ghost shrimp in the video sir ?
Free bait!!! Woohoo!
Great video
Thanks! Well do some fishing next month!
thanks for the info
I wonder how well this would work on crayfish.
There everywhere!! Even in a car?!?
Can you cook and eat these ? Asking for a friend ..
Where do you get that elastic thread to tie on your shrimp?
You can get it on amazon. Miracle thread
interesting... here, they lay within muddy shores... the same concept with an shrimp sucker tube..
oddly enough, they are called sand shrimp..
With 4 fingers and a huge oval eye
Made my ghost shrimp pump
Awesome!
If you’re by yourself would dumping the pump into a sand flea rake work to let the sand wash out leaving the shrimp?
Yes you could do that
Does this bait work year round? I don’t see y’all using ghost shrimp as often as other baits.
I will still use it year around to try to find those pompano that are still around. This bait works well for everything though. I’ve caught a lot of black drum and red fish on ghost shrimp as well.
Made one today.. inflation.. lol.. $34 total.. Home Depot..
You can’t catch more than 20 or else it’s illegal btw. They don’t want them to be endangered
where did you get the elastic thread? thank you!
I got it a local tackle shop in Gulf Shores, but you can find it on amazon as well
Miracle thread
"gost cotton!" 🙂👻🙂
do you need a fishing license? how much will fishermen pay for them?
I’ve never heard of anyone selling ghost shrimp.
In Texas, you need to be licensed for salt water fishing. Limit is 20 per licensee, per day.
I made two pumps from you videos. Only had 2 opportunities, first time I struck out and second time I only caught small ones. Are there optimal conditions or time of year or any particulars to catching them. Thanks
