03/23/14 – Oak Hill Shrimping Report Florida –

Capt Lee enjoys shrimping in Oak Hill Florida, the shrimping Capital of Florida. Her reports are both informative and educational.

My shrimping lights I used were (two) GW 75/75 MacDaddy (150 Led’s) with the green and white strip. I fired off both strips. My light configuration was 9pm and 3 pm set. Imagine looking at a clock. I pulled the 6pm scout light  (GW 60/60 shrimping light = 120 leds) which I deploy when I want to upwell the fat daddy’s lurking lower in the water column. If there are none, I pull the 3rd light and in this case I blew the big boys off the bottom.

Booyah, full pull 5 gallons in 2 hours and 10 minutes with 2 senior citizen shrimpers and a Shumaker frame net.

The river was choked down when I arrived on the scene. Here is a pic of the river around Lopez (CM 6 and South) , a popular strip of inter-coastal in Oak Hill, Florida.
Full pull unbelievable sizes. Deep runners, murky water, bait fish/sea grass brown out, half moon, lazy current, low barometer, not as many boats.

We dipped our first shrimp 8:10pm, we moved some water, down with (2) green/white mega mac 150 LED as goal posts and (1) gw 60/60 as 6 pm set tight to boat to blow biggones to the top. This is my 3 light configuration.

Here is my shrimp light configuration. Note, the field go post setup with my “Mega” Mac Daddy 150 LED lights, and 1 GW 60/50 = 120 LED light set at 6 pm  noted by the number 3.

Shumaker culling frame net 1.5 gallon.

Collapsible Shumaker box frame net 4×4 foot, 17 foot sock 1″ stretch, 1/2″ mesh

Added chain to frame net and dropped it 2 foot below surface and it produced solid gallon on 2nd dump. Here is the ball in my frame net
