Just got in from RRB, boats galore (word's out = RRB is "HOT" )..........
My partner didn't go so I went by myself, had he went we could've
gotten 5-gal, but, guess I got to keep these 3-gal for myself .......

Nice!! Llybci!
Nice job Danny!! How late where up, in order to catch that many?
Looking good Danny, if you need someone to go for a full bucket give me a call, I'll meet you in OH or HC & we can got to the RRB.
We might have a good time with all the other JADA scrimpers:Rofl
Well now Danny, that's more like it hope I can hit em like that sometime.
Man I wish we had some of them critters in Ga.

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" ...................

Now, where we used to go gets really crowded when the shrimps are running, I'm not much for crowds so I usually just buy some from a friend that goes. I've seen some real idiots getting crazy at the ramp & then out there bumping into peoples
boats, not as fun as it used to be.
How about a picture of you dipping. I would love to see how you do it. Sounds like you just see them coming by and reach out with a net.
Yes D as they go by in the current you try to net them with a large headed net that has small holes.
Sometimes they can see the net coming & they get away
Nice haul and fine eating

"D", There's all kinds of You-Tube videos showing folks shrimping etc, etc, etc ......Quote:

La water too muddy I would imagine. But if you find somewhere with probably 5' visibility guarantee it would work. But water was too silty for it when I lived there.
Here's some pics of railroad bridge...
The one pic of almost dark = see the pole sticking up in the sky = my net pole
with tennis ball on it's end = so it floats if I drop it in etc, etc .......
Looks like a parking lot Danny. I remember some nights down by Lefils that it was lit up like a small city, and anchor lines overlapped. 5 gallons in 3 hrs on our best night.
mouth watering pics :biggrin
Wow, those look great Danny, if your ever going by yourself and have an empty seat I would love to learn how to catch shrimp.
Vic, I been 7-8 times with little results...Quote:

There's folks on the Titusville pier that don't even use underwater lights,
They get those little clamp on spot lights that shine over the top of the water = they do good too .......
Fact is, just like crappie fishin = ya go to go to learn/catch ....
I can't help anyone right now, got plenty of close friends wanting to go = I tell em = buy a boat mo-yawn,
I have other phrases I use but not suitable for this forum etc, etc, etc .....! ! ! ! ! !
Just typical stuff, someone finds a gold mine = everyone wants in etc, etc, etc....
I'm still not satisfied = want to come home with a "full pull" (5-gal) that'll satisfy me for the year etc, etc, etc .....
You and Eileen would be good candidates for shrimping = ya'll would love it, consider getting into it = like crappie, it only lasts
for a few months then it's gone for the year (however during the summer, from Daytona north they cast net "white" shrimp during the day)....
Would love to take everyone that wants to go but ................................
(funny = nobody wanted to go till I finally got a mess LOL )..................
That's just human nature ........
"Ya either break trail, or ya follow trail" .................................................. ......
And .......Wala ! ! ! ! !
My lips still droolin'
Amazing how loud them shrimp call at ya. We done ate 2 quart bags of em. Them look good Danny.
NOW THAT JUST AIN"T RIGHT!!!!!!!!Quote:

My first time out I was lucky enough to hit a good night and my son and I got around 2 gallons would have gotten more but we only had one net to dip with. I was trying to grab them with my hand when my son was dipping. The next two trips out nada nothing but a hand full. And oh the boats you would think that no shrimp could ever servive the onslaught. If you are lucky enough to go during the week go then and avoid the crowd, well some of the crowd on the weekends. Us poor workin folks have no choice.
