North Bulls Bay 9/28

Saltwater Shrimping
1

Shrimped from about 9am-3pm from mid falling thru mid high. Two different locations in the bay.

We couldn’t find the shrimp, or they couldn’t find our bait – or we just couldn’t figure out where to cast to get to the bait. Who knows?

We got about 40 shrimp. All were large to jumbo. I was shocked at the size, but saddened by the numbers (or lack, thereof).

Water was nice; I fell in while pulling a pole. For some odd reason, I didn’t let go as we were drifting by it. While I was in, I walked the line and pulled them all up and drug the boat along.

I did get a 40lb. cownose ray in the net. Needless to say, that was a blast to get into the boat and then free up.

I sure it was about as much fun as the 20 gar I had opening day

Better be glad that ray didn’t pull you in again … thats a big ray to land in a cast net

Bragging may not bring happiness,
but no man having caught a large fish,

Your picture with the ray showes you’re problem. Clear water. Shrimp in the bay do not come out to play unless the water is stirred up and dirty.
