You're only crazy if the wind is blowing and against the tide and all the other boat traffic doesn't make it sloppy out there.

That said I've seen 4 adult men in a 10 foot livingston out "shrimping". I've also escorted a drift boat back to the dock that got caught out there without enough horsepower to get back to the dock bucking current and wind.

Was this out in front of Seal Rock or over in Jackson cove.

I remember seeing 3 or 4 Big guys in a boat like that for a few years. They had their pots on the bow and would motor out with the bow a few inches lower in than the stern. Always hoped they would make it back. Havent seen them for 3 or 4 years.

Tell me I’m crazy. I’ve been thinking about the shrimp dates coming up. My only boat right now is my 18 foot clackamax with a 8 horse kicker. Am I crazy too think I could run out and drop some shrimp pots with the drifter?

Back on track here. You could also easily launch and shrimp at Whitney Point, but its a zoo and you would want to be there really early. I guess most launches are crazy on shrimp days. At Whitney you could run out from the ramp just a few hundred yards and get shrimp. Plus it tends to be a little bit more protected from the wind so not usually as rough. It can get really nasty though. You just need to know your limits.

Pull the line over your anchor pulley. That will take a little work out of it. Good luck.

Or you can get a pulley from Scotty that fits your pole holder. They work really well.
