Saltwater Shrimping

ok…so i was in the dollar tree…you know where everything is a dollar…and made yall a shopping list of things available to make shrimping easier…

dustpan and small handled broom for whisking up the escapee shrimp…

boiled pnuts in the can

rubbermaid and other style freezer containers in all sizes…3-5 per pack…zip lock bags
also snap shut larger containers for dry storage as well as those reynolds wrap looking cold pack bags

glow sticks…for your shrimp poles and boat…many sizes and quanity per pack

small solar yard lights;…good for use in boat for lights while waiting…i keep a couple in my boats ditch bags for back up lights if needed…can stick them in your rod holders

non skid pads like you put in kitchen drawers or in cabinets…and under rugs…good for keeping coolers in place(I also put a piece on the bow when casting)

batteries/flashlights

snacks/water/sodas/beef jerkey/slim jims/chips/lunchables/gum

koozies/zip ties and bungy cords

rubber gloves for heading shrimp…the acid in the shrimp guts can irritate your skin

bug spray/sunscreen/first aid supplies and tylenol…

hand sanitizer…get some

boat wash

pine sol and spic and span for getting the bait smell out of boat
(btw…theres some toilet bowl cleaner there called “THE WORKS” which will take stains and yellow dinge off your boat hull

whistles…sorry didnt see any bells:smiley:

a product called DAMP RID thats great for keeping dampness out of compartments and electronics boxs

small buckets with handles for washdown…or other things:dizzy_face:

duct tape for a quick patch for holes in nets…hope you dont need it
or for use on loud shrimping buddies

small rubber rugs for placing under generators to help with noise and vibration

ok…Im done here…good luck to all of you…catch’em up!!

Penny, I just spent 1 1/2 hours sitting in the boat checking out the lights, the nets, the cooler storage, the batteries, and the other backup gear you mentioned. Glad I did as my floodlight was in need of adjustment. My port red light was burnt out. My 3/8 bait net needed to come off. My 48 qt. shrimp cooler is ready as is my 48 qt. beer cooler. My food and snack cooler is shot but I don’t think I need it anyway. One dead battery is now on charge. Will be hitting it tomorrow with everything in order.

I was going through my shrimp stuff yesterday…looking for my old 12 foot net…and realized I need to stash a few before Donnie starts ranting. I have 11 nets. Guess he will add that to his list of things to fuss at me about. Will give my daddy my two 7 foot ones…break the oldest one down for. A extra hand line and weights for Carolina rigs…
Need to go through my rod and reels. Two need to be retired…three rods have busted eyes or tips…but have a hard time letting them go…lol

Penny; i counted up my rods/reels yesterday. 63 not counting 14 12’ crappie poles and maybe 10 or so bream busters. you are right. it is hard to let the older ones go. i just replaced several eye tips on a couple of them. have a lot of ugly stiks from my old horse trading days with the shakespeare brass. glad that you are doing well. keep saving those lives.

Cool breeze…glad you are doing well too! I don’t know if its me but it seems the eyes on theses newer rods don’t hold up very well…either the ceramic part comes out or the eye itself breaks…and I try to be very careful. Need to break down and get me a couple new ones…and a new reel. Sometimes it costs as much to fix them as it does to buy. New one.

Overtheledge…I always stop at seawee outpost…and love tractor supply…get me some cool boots and my rubber coveralls there…but the dollar general I’ds not the same as the DOLLAR TREE. dollar tree has everything for a dollar! Hotspot of savings! You need to post up some pics of the boat you built for these guys to see!

Lost one of the biggest reds I’d ever hooked today…it was p past metal trades under a dog…we played tug awar and heave ho…did a jig and a dance to get him out from under that dock then he made a big run …rose up out of the water and a big shake and he was gone! …straightened the hook. It was a monster…fish you dream of…but I was kinda happy to know he had whopped me…glad he swam away hookless though…
