Look me up when you get to Charlotte and we'll make some noise!

I personally know of ponds scattered from Texas to Nebraska that have thriving colonies of these guys. Exceptional natural forage.

At 8:36am on February 19, 2015, Jim Gronaw said…: Like Tony and LOFR stated, grass shrimp of many kinds are in a variety of waters, nationwide. Most Atlantic slope tidal and brackish flows on the Eastern Coast have an abunbance of what is known as the 'daggerblade' grass shrimp and that is what a lot of us try to duplicate with some of our jigs. But they seem to work equally well in inland freshwaters too.
