Got my first report from a friend last weekend.  This is a really cool group of Asian folks I met last summer they make the drive from West Orlando to shrimp all night long.  These are the guys that were 'castnetting' shrimp last summer and they usually come 3-5 of them and run 12-20 traps so they get a good pulse for the action.  He called me up to see how I was doing and get a report from me and to share a report with them.

That being said.... REPORT WAS MISERABLE.... Windy, lots of current, lots of movement on the water:  3 SHRIMP ALL NIGHT

They shrimped until 5am.  Totally slow.  This time last year we were pulling 15's and 20's on a 30 minute soak.  ALL LARGES.......

This season will be late late late in my humble opinion.  I think the water has another 10 degrees to warm.  I remember it was sticky, muggy, rough sitting out there waiting for the sun to go down on some calm nights waiting for the little critters to move.

Sorry the report isnt good... but I think we are maybe a few weeks to a month out for the 528 PC area to BLOOM.  But when it does!!!!!  I think it shall!!!
