trolling in biglake
 

Has anyone ever pulled a shrimp troll in biglake

'Use to 10-15 years ago with a pontoon boat, 35ftr. Haven't since then.

Opening day inland, you use to not be able to get in to Hebert's. Not many people rec. trawl the lake anymore. I did until I tore my net. Always caught more crabs than shrimp. prolly get in a fight these days. The beach this time of year can be loaded, that's if the weather permits.

Maybe on opening day, you will see someone trolling in BL.

I think there is still too much "Junk" on the bottom from Rita to safey troll in the lake.

Thanks fellas i appreciate the info

Saw a guy last year south end drop nets 100 yards from me and went 500 feet and started cusing up a storm...caught some iron parts..toe his net up

first time ever on big lake out of crab lady....my parhan with my assistance at 8-10 years old pullin whatever with a 40 tiller yamer on a 16'.....plenty of years ago.....BIG SHRIMPIN!!!! where i learned what rough water meant, first viena sausage was in big lake!! pullin a troll......

I guess they just knew where to pull the nets cuz I dont ever remember back then getting hung up on stuff...but the lake has changed in 25 or so years!!

srimpin in bigg lake
 

My dad loved to go when i was a kid. Srimp used to pour out of cuts from the marsh. Boats used to srimp in a circle. Would only catch when u were in front of the cuts. Coonazzes would have their shot guns. If u cut one of them off, u could expect a good cussing and maybe some buck shot. Those were the good ole days. Sure miss em.

snorkler have you heard how they are doing here for shrimp.
