  • Shrimping ain't easy. It takes a lot of time, know-how and lots of investment to trawl for shrimp. We're trying to see if we can make a small trawl boat profitable. Our goal is to please our customers. Buy local seafood. #commerrcial #shrimp #seafood

      We sit the doors in the boat using the winch and drag the net in the back of the boat by hand.

      If you use a cat head to get your bag you probably need permits and shrimpers license if you don’t all you need is a fishing license and can have probably 250lbs a day! Great video nice boat looks like an awesome stern dragger

    Shrimpers Slip Knot/Cod End Knot--STILL NOT PROPERLY TIED!!!! Pliers to undo a knot…UNBELIEVABLE. Check youtube “chain stitch cod end slip knot”!!!! Good Luck…greatly needed. Unnecessarily still working hard..,🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐. ps: ADD another 10 ft of tope yo lazy-line (rope from tail bag to board)…then NO need to muscle that rope to cathead to pull in bag. Use picking-rakes (buy plastic/homemade wooden) to save your fingers/hands ! Lengthen/add another 18” of SS pipe to your pull-rack…easier to retrieve bag!

      The problem is they won’t do anything to change. A little bit of work to that rigging and that could be an easy working one man operation. They won’t listen to anything. They always say they’re having fun. Well it’s really getting old watching them break their backs not to mention the inefficiency in the operation. The time it takes them to pick up and set out a couple times I’ve done made another drag or two at the end of the day. But I’m a shrimper I don’t know what I’m talking about apparently

      @@kyleleago9744 Trust me we're listening to all of the suggestions and seeing things that we need to do to make shrimping out of this boat easier. I've only been aboard this boat 4 times and I've shared our trips with others that are coming along to see how things go for us. I never want anyone to think we're not taking into account what they're suggesting. I'm just happy to have the opportunity to shrimp with my buddy and share our adventures with others while my boat is down. I've also shared videos where we're using a smaller boat with no rigging to help out. I love trawling and catching lots of shrimp is a bonus.

    The ones crying about the bycatch are the ones that got NOAA to outlaw longlines for sharks .Did they cry about the 2 young kids that were killed by sharks in the Panhandle ,And the Young girl that had a leg amputated, all in 1 day. Bet they cry about the bycatch and the sharks that are way overpopulated thanks to theire types

    Is that an aluminum prop? Much performance with a load going to stainless! No flex under load
