Fall of 2012. Whipped the shrimp in St. Helena early in the season. When October rolled around…nothing. Shut off.
Fast forward to Fall 2013. Went 4 times in Sept and coolered out each time. Went today (Oct 1) and…zero. Not one shrimp. Three seperate places. Yuck. PLEASE tell me that we’re not shut off already. I can’t take it.

We went on Saturday and it was a bit windy but we still got about 3/4 of a cooler. We pulled 90% in the first two runs and then it slowed considerably after that. I almost re-baited but I pulled up a bait ball with plenty of bait left so I’m guessing we caught what we lured in.

Yeah I agree with Bob, shrimp using their brains and getting out of here before they get taxed into oblivion.

You could’ve had a Shrimp Po Boy at lunch with us working stiffs! But, you actually have to be at work!

We went Monday and had trouble finding them at first. The water was clearer than it was the first trip we made. After the tide came up a little and it finally turned overcast a little, they showed up with a vengeance. They were staying deep until they felt safe enough to move shallow. Night time might be better right now.

Good point Tiger. The water was clear as a bell. Good for trout, bad for shrimp. We also noted the water temp on Sept 20 was 80, Oct 1 it was 71-72. Just sayin.
