      You’re welcome. Shrimpers work hard to provide wild caught shrimp to the public. We are trying to encourage others to make sure they're buying wild caught shrimp to help support a dying breed of hard-working guys.

      We do use a TED/shooter but unfortunately these cannonballs we've had the last several weeks aren't but about baseball size at the largest & down to about dime size 😵‍💫 so they are going straight through instead of shooting out like the big ones do. The majority of the big boats haven't even been trawling in our area lately due to all the jelly! 🪼 Even way up into our rivers all the way to miles offshore are full of jelly right now. None of the single trawl trawlers here in this area use a try net. We are only shrimping for the fun of it & can't handle trying to get rid of but so much shrimp already. That's where we really need the help! 😆 Either of you know any buyers you could send our way? 🤷🏼‍♀️

    If you wouldn’t have walked off while guiding the cable the doors would’ve come up even. Pop the boat out of gear before you pick up. Pick up the drop block tie it off on the pin rail. Pop it back in gear start picking up on the winch. Make a small boom to pick up the bag with. Nevermind. Y’all work way to hard. There’s a point to where it’s not fun when you got to work like that.
