I was checking the GPS (Good Position fo Shrimp) from last years location-handheld jobber- on where we have been before and coolered out and noticed a trend for large shrimp…we go out there and it can get crazy dangerous quick so this may not work for all… but notice a trend…large shrimp are further out to the ocean-duh…but you trade off with currents and wind. (On windy days I usually need 2 nerve tonics before heading out, they come in a blue can)
On the Google maps? (I know they take the Satellite picture once a year). You will notice the dark blue current and the brown pluff mud…when I jab the poles in the ground at GPS location I can hear-feel the hard sand…it takes some effort to put them in vs straight pluff mud. But notice that there is pluff mud on the poles when I pull them up. This is not rocket science…we are college educated shrimping people there must be a better way than going off half cocked!
You can go to Google Earth to get the GPS location - bottom right of screen or Top Spot Maps for depth-it does change due to shoaling.
For Next Friday 20th:
Check the tide, check the wind, check the cooler, check GPS batteries, check the boat-motor, check reg. tags on boat, check the nets, check fish meal, check shrimp tags, check pole numbers-10, check fishing license date, check menu-(this is why you bring girls we bring great eats), check water temp, check the husband-you did say we were going shrimping this weekend didn?t you?
This is good stuff, that’s how we fish off shore, we have been doing this for years, now post it on the internet and see how many boats are pilled up on your spot the next time you go.
I girl never never shows her GPS-Good Postion fo Shrimp location…ever…this is just an example…show these cats where we go? Neva… there is plenty of shrimp for everyone!
Of course there is. Let them find em. I know exactly where you are going. Do you think it will be hard for anybody else to find out? You just gave the world a map.
Haters? Realy? I hope you are happy when every rubberhead in the area is out there running through your poles. They will come. Call a place paradise, and kiss it good bye.
Way to go Creekgirl, now the whole world knows there are shrimp in Bulls Bay! Great!
And thanks a bunch for sharing the top secret information that sand/mud mixed bottom has been productive for you in the past.

Could you imagine if someone let it slip that you can catch huge redfish at the grillage or that the bsb are bigger at the chs60 than they are at near reef? Man, it could really piss off some people. [:0]
Alee azz! Old Photos! Go ahead and suck everyone in. Hope no one in smaller boats gets hurt out there where you are recommending them to go out into the ocean.
Seems to me if you don’t like what’s posted here, maybe you shouldn’t read this website. There’s a little bit of a family situation here, with a few outliers, and mostly we’re not threatened by others in the family succeeding, even at out own cost. Creekgirl follows a well-established precedent by One Pole in the past, of trying to make us all successful. There’s plenty of shrimp and crowding seems to have no effect on that…look at the continued popularity of Crab Bank and Pats Point, for example. Gripe somewhere else.
Wow, shrimping will be ruined for everyone now, who knew there were shrimp in Bulls Bay? Great, now everyone will be shrimping there. What the hell is a rubberhead? Get a life tel.

i think he joined just to beeitch. I know I wont be trying anything near open water in my boat but I like learning all I can. So great post. wish I could return the favor with something you know nothing about but Im new to everything but hunting.
Wow?.how we forget…BB is miles of ocean and creek…I could be wrong but I think there are thousands of shrimp over the next 70 days to be caught for everyone.
When we started years ago someone was kind enough to take the time teach us how to shrimp…I am so great full for the experiences on the water and know how scary your first time is…all the post was were some guidelines on what to look for that is it…THIS IS NOT the GPS location where I shrimp. Cheezey Petes. I shrimp Georgetown, BB on really calm weekdays and Beaufort.
I am a 5?4? women in a small Jon boat with some really stinky bait trying to catch a cooler full of shrimp, not the really intimidating type. (With 2 cans of nerve tonic.)
Hope it wasn?t taken wrong no intentions to send anyone out in crazy waters…just trying to help the newcomers…the DNR needs these licenses to pay for salaries and landing up keep…they only have 5500 permits this year a whopping $137,000. We need recreational shrimpers- the commercial shrimpers don?t like us at all and would love to pass law to have us removed…
