Does someone going shrimping have to have a hunters ed cert? I was not sure if they had to have that to buy a fishing license? My brother wants to go with me but he does not have a hunters ed cert.

You just need a valid GA fishing license...and probably the free SIP, too.

^^^^This, plus make sure you have the correct mesh size nets. There are bait size mesh nets and food size mesh nets and the allowable amounts to keep are different.

It’s best to get a copy of the regulations.

Thanks, I have one of Pops nets. I believe it is a 75ft one.

Slow night for shrimp on St Andrews beach, but we had a good time! We also caught some mullet, flounder, small crabs, and a shark.
