About USWINTER SHRIMPING
Florida winter shrimping is a popular sport among anglers from January thru June. We chase the brown & pink shrimp at night using dip nets and shrimp lights. The run is intercepted from New Smyrna Beach to Sebastian Inlet. Volusia & Brevard County are the popular hot spots in the State.

Summer shrimping is a popular Central to North Florida sport among anglers. The summer run starts in S. Daytona - Ormond Beach early July. The length of the run can vary year to year. These shrimp are caught by cast net in the day time on the outgoing tide. As soon as they clear Central Florida, we chase them all the way to Jacksonville into the Fall.

May is a bonus month for winter shrimping in both the North Brevard County & Oak Hill Florida. The Melbourne area typically are in the throws of their season snagging jumbo's off the bridges. Volusia County, Oak Hill has action but you have to put up with your fair share of 4 inches or smaller. You can cull them out and come up with some 5" plus Haulover Canal shrimp that came thru the lagoon. The larger sizes are mixed into the swarms, so don't retire your nets just yet. As long as the water remains reasonable the winter shrimp will run. We are noting heavy 100-200 swarms the 2nd hour of the tide in Oak Hill (as recent as 5/20/13). There is NO signs of the white shrimp as of yet in Oak Hill, but a few captured at Haulover Canal May 17th. Check back here in 30 days for update. June warm weather changes us over to the hunt for the white shrimp during daytime hours in South Daytona. We cast net for them on a boat in the inter-coastal water way or from a pier near the action. In a perfect world two of you need to go together. One will mark shrimp on sonar and drive while the other tears their rotator cuff deploying the net.
