Here is the dock at the end of Beacon ave in Sidney.  This is where we do the most of our shrimping and crabbing.

       Sport shrimping and crabbing is a great family pastime in the late summer and early fall. Although crab are available all year, the shrimp come into the shallow water more in the fall.
     . How it works is you get a fish head or some sort of bait (crabbers like chicken) and wire it onto the bottom of your ring net. Then you lower your net over the side into usualy 20-30ft of water and then sit back and relax  ...tic tic tic  5-10 min go by pull it up  not to fast and not to slow and what ever you do don't stop pulling it up. You should now have a basket of goodies from the deep including  sea creatures like, sun stars, shrimp, crab of all sizes, eels, fish and what ever else the sea has to offer. Carfuly pick out the smaller crabs (  they have pinchers and YES they use them) and through them back. The regs state that you can't keep any rock crabs under 6" and they ask that you volentarily release any female crabs. The shrimp you  can keep all  of but the little tiny ones you should throught back there is not much meat on them to make it worth while. Shrimp have a sharp pointed nose that can draw blood if caught in the wrong place. I recoment picking them up by this "beek" that way they cant jump up and stab you fingers. It seem like it might be easy to just pick them up by there long
