Great catch. If ya don’t mind what depths were setting in? How many ways do you plan to cook them pretty shrimp…
I have yet to find a way that I don’t like shrimp cooked. We boil them, deep fry them, butterfly and grill them, also saut? them in butter and garlic. And don’ forget shrimp and grits.
We started off in about 2 feet at low tide and ended up at about 5 - 6 feet when cooler was full. Tide was incoming.

went to BB on Fri started out like it was gonna be good and then they just shut off. incoming tide not sure what happened…any ideas?
The one thing that shuts them down every time that I have found in Bulls Bay is if the water gets clear. The shrimp seem to just disappear when water clears up. If water is roiled up and muddy looking, I generally catch shrimp. But if water is clean and clear generally have a hard time getting shrimp. This only applies in daylight hours. Water clarity doesn’t seem to make any difference at night. I think it has to do with light penetration of the water.
Another thing that will turn them off is if someone around you is banging the bottom of their boat. The noise will spook them.
Shadows over your bait will spook them. I have had a cloud cover the sun, and the shrimp were not on the bait for a run or two.
Hope this helps. Since the only thing that eats shrimp is everything in, on or above the water, shrimp are extremely spooky. So the slightest change in conditions can spook them.

Hit it today in that depth also and caught a half cooler of large/jumbos. First run 120ish shrimp. Then 7 dolphins came down 7 poles had to motor around them trying to spook them with my Halloween mask… hit near grass with no luck around high. Thanks for the reply
Flipper was terrible Friday. The worse that I have ever seen.
When Flipper and friends show up, the only thing you can do is wait until they leave and re-bait and hope shrimp haven’t been scared completely out of area.
