Shrimping on the oregon coast?

[micah_man1]

I've seen the regs for shrimp in the ODFW booklet, but have never known anyone to catch shrimp off of the Oregon coast. Anybody know where/when/how to catch shrimp?

+1, I'm interested to know as well.

I have a friend who used to SCUBA and catch them... and I've caught them in the surf now and again... I keep meaning to take out some minnow traps to lay out for shrimp...

Great idea using the minnow trap. I'll have to give that a try next time I'm fishing over there. Any suggestions for bait?

Doesn't sound encouraging for recreational shrimping. I wouldn't quit on the idea, but it sounds like shrimp like deep water where it's dark and cold.

Bait, I dunno but shrimp are omnivorous scavengers... fish meal balls are popular down south...
