2008 Shrimpin' - It's a wrap

We ended our shrimping season by fishing in Matt's boat. My boat went in the shop for a fix on the motor and the 20 hour service. As expected the shrimp were less. We managed to get our limit for 3 in 4 pulls and averaging about 50 shrimp per pot. The numbers were definitely in the decline. I'm glad we got some time in on the opener and on the second day.

One interesting thing that happened today was losing Tim's number 3 shrimp pot. Their pot was tangled with ours. We were able to get their pot off, but unfortunately it sunk never to be found again. We weren't sure at what depth, but they only had 300 feet of line. With the current and big tide swing, their 15lb pot was no match. That was an eye opener for me and hope to come up with a contingency plan if that happens again. Sorry Fretz!
