Anyone Shrimpin'?

I noticed someone out front of my condo tonight and he sure looked like he was shrimpin'.

  • Anyone shrimping lately and doing any good?

    4 or 5 boats drag every night in front of our place.  It has to be good or they wouldn't be there every night.  I watched one pull up a full net and heard him yell "I love you Tampa Bay!".

    On a related note - 2 of the boats got into a fight the other night.  One shot off a flare.  The coast guard came.  They talked to one and let him go.  He had to yell at the other one (over the radio and PA) to come to him since the water was too shallow for the coast guard to get in.  The shrimper finally came and acted like a major butt.  To make a long story shorter, the coast guard put two of the guys in handcuffs and made the third guy drive the  boat to the coast guard station.  If the shrimper had just cooperated, the coast guard would have let him go.
