Went out this morning just to see what the shrimp situation was like. Only threw the net for about 1.5hrs. Was surprised at the size they are. Medium to large. After popping heads came up with 5 lbs. Will be at it again tomorrow. Hope to fill a 5 gallon bucket.

I hear they have been netting them real well in Daytona as well. But that area is full contact shrimping. Good luck tomorrow.
Nice going Russ, wish I lived a little closer, I would love to learn how to catch them.
What size net are you casting? Nice shrimps!! Used to go with my brother pulling a try net in Tampa Bay but that was work.
Only filled the bucket half way before the heat got to me and dead tide scattered them. Yelim I'm casting a 8 footer.
heads on

Nice work Russ!
Wish I was younger and stronger I be out there catching those great shrimp! Meantime I'll just be it back and EAT Them!!!
Man those look great! Ain't much better than a big shrimp boil!
IF we ever have a slab fest again I will boil up a big batch of them for the fest.
I'm all in on the Shrimp boil
Hey 65pontiac I'm thinking of moving there somewhere around tampa up to around Hudson area is catching those hard to do
I have not heard of guys shrimping on that side. I dont se why they wouldnt be able to get shrimp over there. But you will be dead on some prime inshore saltwater fishing. Might post a question on the microskiff forum. And those are some good guys like this forum.
Lived all my life in Tampa Bay area. Never heard of anyone castnetting shrimp on west coast. My brother and others used to pull try nets at night in Tampa Bay. Caught a lot of shrimp and Blue Crabs that way. I could be wrong but I think shrimpers have been outlawed in Tampa Bay. I wouldn't know where to go over here to even try.
Google- forida west coast shrimping- and you will find all kinds of info including Tampa area.Quote:

Wow wish I lived over on the other coast. I would be rite there with you........they look great.
Glad to see there are summer shrimp this year... :-).
Good job Russ!

With all this rain the shrimp have slowed down to about nothing. We need a week of dry weather and northeast winds.
I live in Hudson area.........just give me a call 727-320-6025
