Thread: Shrimping Report

Well, was a slow night = 7 hrs shrimping ....
Started at sunset .....
Got back home about 2:30am.....
Total caught = 160, 5-6 inchers = pretty fair sizes ....
Weight = 8.75 lbs
160 shrimp/7hrs = 22 pr hr = .4 shrimp pr min = 1 shrimp every 2 minutes (approx) ...
However we didn't do well at all the first hour or so, at 10pm they started showing up,
one here, one there, etc, etc, then about 11:45pm they slacked off,
picked up a little after that lull, then, I ran out of cigarettes = time to go home ......
Wasn't a really bad night at all, we chatted with the boat across and to the side of us and
had a good night (we and the other boat were the only ones out there) .....

(Picture is of only half, had to split half with partner) ....

It's about getting shrimp, but same as fishing, ya go out and if ya don't get any, or a few, then,
ya still enjoyed getting out..... (the winds died down to calm, and the stars were, as always, beautiful) .....
