We entered the season with poor expectations and continue to salt the situation. The shrimp are small, and some of us are having to run 17+ miles to get to our favorite shrimping spots thanks to the feds.
Let’s look at this from a more optimistic stance. There are still tons of shrimp being caught. My neighbor limited Sunday on medium shrimp. I can remember many years where we caught large shrimp early and caught none in late October. There has to be some positive ■■■■■■■■ on the fact that the shrimp are still here, and that they will continue to grow over the next few weeks.
While we await the re-opening of our favorite landings, enjoy your time on the water and the adventures you would have otherwise not taken. Use this time of diversity as a means to better your skills and knowledge in new shrimping locations.
Most importantly, Happy Shrimping!
