Crabbing and Shrimping at Rockefeller Refuge

Reply
Thinking of taking my two boys to do some crabbing on Price Lake Rd in Rockefeller this week. Any tips or reports from there? Also, I see where people catch shrimp there. Is this possible without a boat? Like using a cast net? Thanks for any help!

you have to have a saltwater fishing license limit, yes you can shrimp check w/ authorities on size and creel for crabs and shrimp and times they open on whether or not shrimp season is open or closed

Thanks. I have all the proper licenses and will check with authorities as you recommend. However, is there a specific area other than Price Lake Rd, where we crab, to do the shrimping? And are you able to catch them with a cast net? I don't have a boat. Thanks!

Best Place to try cast net for shrimp in toward the back of Price Lake road. You will see a weir & new docking facility....& probably other cast netters & crabbers. Portalets there also. Crab on either side of Price Lake Road & cast net on right side of weirs. Moving water with tidal changes usually better results around the wiers.
