Are there any good beaches to find the shrimp other than White Rock? And do I have to use a pump? Can't I dig them out? Or can I build one? IF u know how to build a pump, please let me know! thanx ;D

Definitely I recommend a pump. You can use a shovel to dig for them but it's alot of work.

Go buy a piece of PVC pipe(or metal, don't matter) about 3' long and 4"'s in diameter, cap one end of it. Drill a smallish hole in the cap, not so big that you can't cover it up with your thumb on your retrieval. Put a handle system on the top and away you go..................Find yourself a suspecting shrimp hole, drive that pump on into the sand, plug the hole and pull out. The sand and hopefully a little shrimpy should fall out when you take your thumb off the hole in the cap.

Make sure the cap is securely fastened with PVC glue.

Just glue a small piece of PVC onto the top of the cap using PVC glue for a handle. A wooden dowl will also work.

So then the cap has a hole on the top with a handle on the side? Don't u need something to pump it out? You'll just stick the pipe in with ur thumb covering the cap and then pull out? Wouldn't the sediment fall out before u take it completely out?

I'm sorry for asking so much! Thanx
