Limited first pull for my boy and I, and then some.

Can't wait until Wednesday and some good tides.

Man, I love shrimpin'. . . Crossing my fingers the Canal season gets extended so that it's still going when I get home. Would love to get some!

We did pretty well too. had seven on the boat and wound up with seven limits. Just finished a batch of garlic buttered shrimp. They sure are good just caught!

Gotta weight them down. We have 4 pieces of rebar along the outside edges and a 4 lb chunck of lead in the center. kind of a pain to empty when they are that heavy, but we don't lose them. Also love the leaded line. 400' on each pot.

Mine have a 15 lb barbel, 10 lb downrigger ball, 8 lb anchor, and a cinder block as weights. They still moved .2 miles with only a 1 - 1.5 knot current. Looking forward to Wed. slow current through mid day.

Its amazing how fast the shrimp will disapear when your pot is moving below.

Is that a cabazon in the deck? Awsome eating fish there!
or another greenling?

lokidog · « **Reply #15 on:** May 10, 2011, 07:03:53 AM »

A little greenling. Wish I could fiure out how to target them, they are tasty, and open most of the year.

Thats almost exactly how we had ours set up and they still disappeared... i cant even begin to say how many bouys i saw that were pulled a few feet under when looking for mine

We have never had any issues with the shrimp pots, it's the crab pots that we seem to loose all the time. They have shorter ropes and we tend to leave them out longer. Hate loosing anything out there all the equipement is gettig expensive.

lokidog · « **Reply #18 on:** May 10, 2011, 11:00:18 PM »

I found and returned four crab pots to owners last year and six or so the year before. Got a lot of thank yous, a bottle of wine, and got to keep two. One came all the way from Vancouver, BC.

Going out tomorrow, supposed to be rainy, hope the wind stays down. Good luck to anyone else playing hooky and getting out on the water.
