I see there is not that much talk about the upcoming shrimping season. I guess everyone is not much excited about it this year or something. Haven’t been in about 3 or 4 years so i definitely plan on coming down a few times this season and try my luck finding them…
Been so busy, haven’t had time to think about it. Picked up a deep hole net last year, only made it out twice. Did great on day one, not so great on day two. I’ll be out there to try again this year!
Side note : haven’t seen any shrimp in the creeks chasing bait this year.
I’m beyond excited. Heading down to bulls bay on Sunday and staying through Wednesday. Going to hit it hard for 4 days and hopefully load up. Been deep holing as well and have done really well in my 4 trips over the last few weeks weeks.
Post some reports when you go. Very few last year. Not sure if that’s because nobody was catching, or if people are just not using this site as much. I always enjoy reading the reports and try to give reports when I make it down. Good luck this season!

I had a buddy go off Harbor island Wed. and ended up with 2 150 cooler of med. pulling a 25’ net on the incoming, went Thurs and only got 1/2 cooler on outgoing with lots of jelly
I will make some posts for sure. Good luck to all that go. Hopefully this year will be better than last year. We had a few days where we loaded up, but about half the time we scraped around all day for 1/2 cooler.
Seem to be fewer and smaller then usual in the creeks. I imagine it will be good late depending storms. The years of early season shrimping being good because no one’s picked them over. The deep hole guys have been cleaning them up for a few months.
Flywatt, I only went once last year and didn’t do good as i wanted and wish i did. Deep hole shrimping is something i haven’t tried but saw post from some that was doing it earlier this year.
Bayou boy, yeah i hope to get a few trips in this season. Good luck on your trip.
Upstate Shrimper thanks and good luck to you also. I definitely will give a post, good or bad:+1:
Hey Boatpoor. Well i am hoping i get on something to put a smile on my face. That’s an lil expensive trip down the highway to not catch some…
Haven’t been in a few years. I love going and used to take my boys but, they’re off in school and I just don’t seem to find the time to even get on the water much anymore. I gotta do better.

I haven’t been in three years either. Haven’t managed to fish much lately either especially this year.
Next month I think I might start dragging the boat up here.
I am fragile. Not like a flower. But like a bomb.
DFreedom, i feel you on that. I gotta definitely make time this season. I have started getting my poles ready, so I will be going soon. Let me know if you ever wanna hook up and go…
Yeah Off the chain, i be making quick trips down to Charleston to fish at times. Being from the upstate it’s hard to get to the coast and get on the water like i want to.
I enjoy shrimping, but I’d rather buy off the dock and go fishing. Bite is too good in the fall!

I will be trying my luck later on this evening! My dad and I used to go pretty frequently, I got the tags in my name for this season. I would love to catch some bigger boys but I have a slight suspicion that I might just be catching bait. I’ll provide an update later.

Gone fishing
Oh I know I’ve seen some of them sheephead.
You’re from Greenville right???
I’m working here in Greenville at North and main. Staying at springwood campground.
Probably going to bring the boat back up Thanksgiving. What’s the striper bite like at Hartwell fall early winter?

Thanks for the offer Gone, that’s what I love about this site. If I can ever find a way to get away, I’ll give you a holler. I’m hoping this hurricane season passes without any SC events.

The family was out that way so we pulled into Buck Hall at low tide. Including the boats pulling in the drive behind us we counted about 90 trailers. Some were parked in places I haven’t seen used before so I’d be interested if anyone got parking tickets, caught any shrimp. The campground was closed and locked. SCDNR pulled in as we were leaving.
