Has anyone been able to get any at Matagorda? If so where and how? I made some of the suction tube pump things and tried but couldn't find any of the elusive little creatures.

I catch allot of them but more for a beach activity with the kids. They are really fragile and don't stay on a hook real well.
If people concentrated on the really important things in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles.

Little know fact: TP&W has set a limit on Ghost Shrimp of 20 per day.

Ghost shrimp are one of the best baits for fresh (Fish just entering from saltwater) steelhead in the Northwest Rivers... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thalassinidea

I built two of them but couldn't produce any critters with them last time I tried it. I think the problem was I couldn't find any place that was muddy enough.

Our kiddos had a blast catching them in the surf down in Port A over Thanksgiving. The gulls sure knew what those sucker pipes were used for. They'd follow you around waiting on a hand out.

I used them as bait in Port a recently; did great catching skipjack. Strange but sometimes 2 or 3 would come out of a single hole.
