Do you catch anything else than shrimps while using this technique?

Well look.I hate to kill animals so i'll help collect and will turn my back
when you dropped the little creature in the jar to its death.
But we will make Andy happy.

Ok if this was boxing, you just knocked me out with a right to the chin....
No seining possible ?
How can we collect then ?
Shall we head for the beach ?
Shrimping i am sure is fun but i really would like to collect too.
Talking about getting buried, i got buried in a local lake (West point) once
and really got scared.My wife couldn't pull me out, i was up to my arm pits.
