Default Does Shrimping Count?

Took the V20 out with my son-in-law & granddaughter today for opening day of shrimp season here in Mississippi. We drag a 15 foot otter trawl & just pull it up by hand. Nice day! Things went great & we got about 75 pounds of nice shrimp & were back at the house by noon!

If I could catch 75 lbs of shrimp I'd sell my rods!

I'd say it counts.....with the price of shrimp lately you are sitting on a gold mine.
I read there is some bacteria killing all the Indonesian/asian shrimp farm stock....Good for wild caught US shrimpers but bad for my wallet.

Nice man!!! Our season should get fired up here soon. Commercial just opened last week.

Do they open commercial season before recreational? That disease has kept prices up for about a year now, the shrimpers that have hung on through Katrina & then the oil spill deserve a good year.

Our State recreational/commercial "food" shrimp season does coincide with each other.
Any time after May 15 the commissioner "may" open the season, this year it was June 10.
I was wondering if the black gill was in the gulf, we've had it for several years.
