Chuck;
Depends ...........
First and formost, I had to leave the house at 3pm in order to arrive at RRB in order to get the spot I wanted before
the hoards arrived (they always grab the best spots first, naturally .......
And, I did get the spot I wanted (from watching the other night who was dipping the best etc, etc, etc).....
Sundown was around 6pm (I fished till then). And, by sundown the place was crowded. I had one boat off my bow less than
10 ft, I could've jumped over to his boat. Off my stern the next boat was bout 15 ft, however, I had positioned my boat
horizontally to the pilings, thereby insuring I had the area between the pilings all to myself (got to be smart cookie) ......
And, I recall quitting around 12 midnight = so, spent "9" hours, but only bout "5" hours dipping, and another 45min returning
to dock/loading up/coming home .....
Now, the other day my partner and I stayed till 2am and only got 2 gal = not quite the right spot. (close but no cigar).

Shrimp will "run" and generally "run in a stream", like a school of fish = hang together, but will always be a few around elsewhere.
So, ya could load up in as little as an hour or long time with only a few .....

Last night was the third night in a row they were "running" (swarming) and buddy, when they swarm = they're everywhere, drive
yourself crazy trying to net them all = see one there, go for him, two more over here, go for that one or those two, wait, four over there = try to swing net every which away = they all get away LOL, LOL ........

As they say = "Ya got to go to know" ...................
