Well had a day off Friday so I decided to see if the shrimp wanted to take a ride in my boat. Well I guess they had heard the stories of my leaking boat because they were just about jumping in my boat! Fooled them, I went in my boat that doesn't leak. Finished off my limit in 1 hour.

Nice catch Dwayne, I got me 40 pounds yesterday but I had to buy mine for 2 dollars a pound. I still consider it a bargain.

So when this oppertunity came up he gave me a call and I told him heck yeah. I wish I could have handled twice that amout but I have Linda laid up with back problems. The shrimp were mixed right out of the nets. Around 50 percent were large, 35 percent medium, and 15 percent small. That to me was a perfect mix. In fact there could have been a little more in the medium and small range. We eat a lot more gumbos and spaghetti with shrimp in them than we fry or grill. The smaller shrimp have more flavor when cooked like that. Good luck in finding you some as the season is in full swing and soon they will be catching smaller shrimp and the weather cools. Each frontal passage drives them out of the marshes and the big ones go first.

You sure got a great deal then! I've had a few "right time, right place" things come along, and you just can't beat it. :) Not sure how soon I'll make it down, so I'll just play it by ear. Tell Ms Linda I hope she feels better soon!
Thanks Scott, I'll tell her. Y'all making it to D"Arbonne? we will be there but not staying at the park.

FYI
Hi Nabor in BR has em (21-25) for $4 a pound. Weekly Sales Ad – Hi Nabor Supermarket
$3 a pound (21-25) on the road side.
Not planning on it at the moment. At least not as a family like we usually do. Prices getting to high at the cabins. I saw a post that Maxwell has a big cabin, and sharing spaces, but I'm still not sure. Work isn't as easy to get out of as it used to be either. Lemme see...I'm 47, so I guess I have about another 20 yrs before I can retire right?? Uggh.Quote:
