Beautiful night, beer was cold, good company, comfortable temperature, water was clear, moon was bright, not much current flow. It was a good cast if we caught 4 shrimp. about 20 shrimp/run, all good size. ended up w/ about 4 lbs headed total. Would love to hear if they turned on on the incoming tide. Have to work tomorrow or would have stayed another hour to see if they would turn on. Seemed like the slack tide lasted over an hour tonight. Felt a lot like 2013 out there tonight. Hope others had better productivity than us.
Next out Sat PM w/ my daughter and her husband and friends.
Expect this throgh the weekend. Best shot will be across the harbor, maybe Patriot’s Point, and the Bay.Hope I save a few time,gas, and bait…
Went out just in front of the pitt street bridge last night. Got out around 9. Headed in around 11. 1 shrimp in the net was a good cast. I guess we need to get a little closer to crab bank? I’ve only been a few times and last night was my first run on my own. Need to learn some good spots. At least the beer was cold and weather was nice…
We did pretty good on the south end of CB. About 1/3 cooler. They were thick on the deep end. Pulled about 10-12 on a throw. Thin on the shallow end.
Shrimps dont like clear water and a full moon, might have played a factor.
Yep, after we saw conditions we were not surprised w/ the result from the nite. It still beat doing emails or watching TV. Should have looked for some muddier or deeper water…but wanted to get set and have a beer…
