Interesting to me. Just visited my sister in New Smyrna Beach, she and my brother in law live on one of the numerous canals. They have a small dock that is covered. My brother in law asked if we wanted to fish and my wife and I jumped at the chance. So Kathy and Randy take us to few sites to show us the area and then we stop at a beach side bait shop and buy a dozen shrimp for 5 bucks and head back to the house.
In the 2 hours we were gone the canal had changed from a semi muddy looking river to some kind of swirl you might get at Starbucks. Randy had no idea what was going on with the canal. This was in November, not long after the hurricane went thru the area. We tried fishing anyway with no luck but what surprised me was the liveliness of the shrimp. They were nice sized, they didn't just sit in the bucket but thrashed around a bit and made some racket.
So those shrimp were good sized but would they not be good eaters (5 bucks a dozen), not a shrimp lover but curious.
Last thing I've been curious about, how do you shrimp?
