Thats got to be the one of the latest shrimp seasons in a long time

Still dont have many shrimp out there

Last drag at fresh water canal west crabs out numbered shrimp on afternoon drag. Night would be better I bet but still shrimp are scares .

A bit of a highjack of this thread, but I have an old shrimp trawl (about 35 feet) and a couple of plywood boards that I'm willing to part with. The plywood boards need new runners and the net has one little tear the size of a football that's just easily stitched up. It's been in my barn for years. One could be dragging up some shrimp for under a hundred bucks. :) Lafayette/Rayne area. Interested?
