TimmyB, I copied your shrimp report and placed it under the Oak Hill reports. Folks would never think to look in here to see how you did last night. So, it is all copied and I am talking to you about the report over in the Oak Hill forum

Well, we went out last night to 8 and set up on the eas
t side in about 10' of water. Water temp was 65.6 with a north wind. Pretty okay strenght for the tide. Partly cloudy sky. We caught 12 large shrimp in about 3 hours. 5he dolphins were in arms reach of the boat and playing around like crazy. I think they were celebrating st. Pattis day early. Now we fished also and caught 1 blue crab, he was a biggin'. I bought a few crab traps at an auction yesterday and they made their maden voage last night. We caught about 7 blue crabs. Now I just have to figure out how to cook them and what parts to eat. :)

I am going to be between CM 8 and CM9. Both those areas tend to push shrimp into the light field from the West. So to me, it makes the MOST sense to go there and setup in 10 ft of water and face SW.

That's my story and I am sticking to it

As for boxnet, I am gonna toss it because I have one ... but I spent many years dipping without it. The best way to handle a chop from the South or West is to put lights concentrated and close to the boat...

So many people going out, ya all' just gave me warm fuzzies.

It's all about the shrimp baby. Game on tonight. Hoping I feel the burn in my arms from the dipping all I can dip. Launching about 9:30ish from Riverbreeze. Thinking of heading North to about marker 65ish. Any thoughts on this plan.

will do.....I think I will head out as well.....noaa's forecast for tonight looks like it improved a bit. I'll probally put in at lopez as that's about the only area i'm somewhat familiar with up there. I'm not a big fan of exploring a new area at night. damn props get expensive.

Mag, a WSW wind is not too bad, I have a box net, but rarely use it. Good luck, and if you see a little carolina skiff J14 out there, with green lights, say hi!

I wanna go tonight but i'm just not sure. How much chop is too much for dipp'n? I don't have a frame net yet to rely on.

Breaking News:

YOUR Captain is nuts.

I will be sailing the river tonight [Friday] in presuit of glory! The tides are changing about 12:15am at the ramp and up to an hour later once you cross CM 7. We will have a South wind up till 10pm blowing 10+, the wind will shift SW to WSW about 11pm - midnight. The winds then will blow 15-17+ SW to WSW all thru the early morning to sunrise. I expect the bugs to run deep, and I am gonna hope the frame net is the warrior of the night. I feel we will have some large ones move tonight.

WishIWasFishin is heading out as well.....we have discussed tactics on the phone already.

THIS could be the night they swarm....it is going to be any day now...and the water temp is in the mid 60's. In the past I have seen folks go out in the worst of times & worst winds and come home with a full pull.

I figure...

Thanks Mag!

Remember Sunday night is "SPRING FORWARD" daylight savings, so we lose an hour of shrimping.

I was planning on going out Saturday, but now my newbie brother in law is here and is able to go out on Friday. With the wind being what is I am very hesitant. I am after all in search of elusive 8" shrimp. Honestly being how new I am to this, I still only know of Riverbreeze to launch from, and then a few markers north or south to go to. If anyone would feel up to sharing a good spot for a newbie that would be great. He is going to want to just catch a bunch, even if they are little. He will learn. I call him my little grasshopper. Give him a few times of going out, and he will be after the big ones too. Good luck all.

X2 on what Lee said about friday night. Edgewater will be crowded. Get there early and go south. The tide will run hard and the frame net should be a big help. I am tempted to drive up there.

The return back south to Jess Parrish from the RR bridge may be a little bumpy, but the shrimp should be up there.

Best regards,

Frankk
