LOL! Thanks man. It's amazing how quick our bodies can heal from injuries. I'm thankful! A day of shrimping is work. You'll have to go with us this year and see what it's like.
🤢🤮 WOW, those are some big ol' birds. Dang it, I'm sorry you guys are still having boat problems. You guys are going to have to get some ear plugs, that boat is loud. Thanks for taking us out shrimping.
Thanks for coming along. This is my buddy's boat. We haven't pulled with our boat yet this year. I have to look out for my friends when they need help.
Thanks man! You know I don't give up on anything and Phillip is the same way. I can't wait to get you boys out there and put yall to work. I love you man!
Phillip has been working hard on getting his boat ready. There're some things you just don't see coming until you're out there. Luckily, we didn't have to call for help and no one got hurt. We're being put through tests to make sure we can handle them. Take care.
Alright salty shrimp videos hope y'all have a wonderful season and it looks like that boat will get it done for y'all shrimping ain't easy but thay Shure eat good stay safe and keep the videos coming.
Y’all may not have caught many but with shrimp that nice you don’t need many 😂. Great job making it work with what you have, finding little issues to solve and getting better each trip. Stay Safe!
As a commercial-shrimper" we were/are never satisfied as far as the amount caught (size never is the issue UNLESS illegal-undersized shrimp...Lessening the unit of effort and still producing is THE REFINEMENT/GOAL of the trade!
The only time I've been sea sick was when we were 20+ miles off shore deep sea fishing in the gulf stream and that boat was rocking! Oh, and I was pregnant but didn't know it yet lol. I think yall just need to get the bugs worked out and you'll be dragging 'em in once the water warms up a little.
Being seasick ain't no joke. Shelly's a tough lady. I told Phillp that he would've had to take me back if I was sick like that. Shrimp or no shrimp, I don't care.
Aimee Allen I learned after the first time I got sea sick to go to the very back of the boat and and sit back there while the boat is going out or moving at anytime and to never stay in the cabin very long. The mate on my first deep sea fishing trip saw me being so sick and came over and told my parents what to do for me and it helped, plus I learned to not eat a big breakfast before going out, I am definitely thankful to the mate that taught me and my parents how to prevent it from happening again.
When you do it will take (80)% of the work out 💪! And make sure it has a cat head to pull in the lazy line , and big bags of shrimps ! Thanks for sharing 👍
Now this boat's more my size! 😂 A/C and everything! 😮 That's my throw-up emoji I'm a little confused. Is this your boat or Phillip's? Lots of hard work for sure. Happy you got a few nice ones!😊
This is Philip's boat. He's been working on fixing it up for trawling, too. We can't trawl nearshore right now because SCDNR hasn't opened that zone yet. I wasn't plaining on taking our boat offshore because I didn't know it would only be 15' or so deep where we'd be trawling. Our boat is not set up to trawl in over 25' of water. Philip asked us to come along with them and help out for their first trip... more hands on deck the better, especially learning new gear.
I have been sea sick once in my life when I was like 12 but never have since and I have been out fishing in 12ft + high seas. I went out everyday for 4 straight days deep sea fishing for my high school graduation trip with my parents and the first day was like 3-4 ft seas and it just got worse with each trip out but we were really catching some good fish, I haven’t been out when it was like that again since the only reason it was like that that time was because a tropical storm was moving through on down the Florida panhandle from where we were going out
The season has been open for a couple of weeks. Everyone's having to trawl 3 miles off the coast right now. We'll be able to trawl closer to shore in about a month.
I grew up just passed that landing, My grandmother and grandfather owned Goldens Fripp Point Seafood just passed that landing. Amanda Rhodes and Steve Rhodes are my parents.
I bet that was a cool place to be around growing up. I miss seeing the lights of the big trawlers headed out in the mornings across the marsh from our house. I'd love to go out on a big trawler for a day.
A nice catch, those shrimp were big ones. I think your boat will be a good one. Just a little tweaking to things and she will be a dandy. Love the temporary fixes. Keep the videos coming, we love them.
Man you guys please definitely stay safe out there God bless you and your family Love to purchase some shrimp but I'm in Virginia Will not be back to South Carolina until September Columbia
ANOTHER SET of ‘choke-rings’/heavy mesh tongue to lift the bag set about 4’-6’ ABOVE the bag/tail tie-rings should help you IF using a larger diameter ‘cathead’! ADDITIONALLY: why you are not making several tests with 12 ‘TEST/TRY NET so as to find the shrimp and to stay on the shrimp…making 10-minutes tries every 10-15 minutes during a 2 hour drag!!! Standard ‘test/try times’ here is southern-Louisiana inshore trawling in 10’-18’ water! Properly setup test net w/4-5 wraps on 6” diameter cathead will be hands free w/125’-135’ bridled line to test net! How many feet are your pull cables for the main net? We used 7’x36” aluminum boards on 42’-45’ trawls: body 1 3/4 # 9, extension 1 1/2” #15 and tail 1 3/8 mesh # 18 FOR WHITE SHRIMP….boards are DEFINITELY TOO SMALL-me efficient pull 40’-45’ nets! Look up UA-cam video produced by Georgia University using a 65 foot trawl boat named the “Georgia Bulldog old but very very informative…proved even that boat only opened a 50’ trawl up to 90% of its headline/floatline/topline!!!
Thanks for all the info. The doors that we were using were only 5'. My buddy had them made by a guy who said that's what he'd need for pulling the 50' net he bought. I hate he spent so much money on this setup. I think it's too much for his boat to handle. I've talked with him about it, and he's decided to go back to pulling a 35' net. I think he's boat we'll be able to cover more ground and hopefully rake up a bigger catch. While we were trawling offshore, we pulled in around 15' or so. It looks like he's got around a 100' to 125' of cable on his spool. We pulled with around a 100' of cable. From what I've read, you need to pull 5' of pull lines to every 1' of water. Does that sound correct? Pulling in 20' of water would require a 100' of pull lines. I'm having a great time learning about trawling. I absolutely love 6 I can't wait to go back. It's looking like 2' seas here off the coast on Sunday, but they're calling for 47 percent chance of rain. I want to go and try out my DRAG QUEEN so badly. I've got the shrimping fever.
@@SaltyReflections In that depth of water the formula is called ‘scope’. I would be dragging at least 150 to 165 foot of rope/cable. If your ropes are too short and added the bouncing of the waves - you’re actually bouncing the boards. The best way to check to see if the boards are sliding perfectly on the bottom… Is to spray the FLAT of the skid from the nose all the way to the back with white paint - this way you can determine if it’s nosing or if the boards are healing. There is a way to adjust for that BUT if you using aluminum boards - you spray the skids with black paint. Hopefully I can help you out a little more based on my past experiences since 1970!!!
Watch this video again: THE CATHEAD on right/side of eich SHOULD BE TOTALLY USED TO pull in the “lazy-line (bag line) AND extremely important that this boat is in more of a turn than showed in the video!!! “ LAFITTE-SKIFF” style hull was originally built and crafted in Lafitte, Louisiana! PS: DEFINITELY NEED ANOTHER BILGE PUMP: water belongs on outside of boat NOT inside a boat!!!
This was our first attempt at trawling with this boat. First attempt at trawling offshore. First time using trawl winches. We were basically testing and learning more about the boat. I'm pretty sure the bilge pump wasn't working as it should until Philip removed some trash out of the impeller.😂 He needs to tighten up. The boat hasn't been back in the water since this day/video. I think my buddies are waiting on us to tag along and give them a hand. I'm ready.
LOL! You might be right about the doors but you're definitely not right about the swells. We've been on the water enough to know how big the swells are when we're out there. I hate you couldn't tell what the seas were like in the video. I'm still hoping you'll come along on more videos with us. Are you a shrimper? How do you know what size doors it takes to open a net?
@@SaltyReflections I shrimp for 12 years in the Gulf of Mexico on a 75 ft boat, also I owned smaller shrimp boats that I shrimped in Bays, if you in a very small 23 ft boat then the seas look big, sorry those are not 4 to 6 ft seas. Your doors would spread a 25 ft net, not a 50🤷♂️ but have fun anyway.
@SaltyReflections ua-cam.com/users/shortsHeBRxd5No9U?feature=share This is a guy who crabs close to my area. He does a lot of videos including shorts trying audience suggestions. Vegetables (I think it was leeks) worked pretty well too, but not as good as this pot with jellys for bait. I like your boat and seeing you live a dream. Also seeing people supporting each other in the pursuit of their dreams. Keep them coming.
Only problem I have with you all is u make great videos but this one u didn't start dragging until 20 minutes into the video if u would show each drag and the catch much better video I really like u and your wife and I pray your lives stay fruitful and Blessed, Vincent
I showed all the drags we made on this trip. It took us 1.5 hrs to get to the trawl area we were allowed to drag. Then the fun began. I'm keeping our videos as real as possible to share with you guys.
😒🚫🦐 Nope, it was not a good day at all, except for the fact that we all made it back home safely. 🙏 ... 🤔 Well, I guess it actually was a good day for the shrimp - we didn't get to eat them! 🤣
I think you maybe saw a squid. 🦑 We have not caught an octopus in the trawl net as of yet. They are so maneuverable that they can probably squeeze themselves out. 🐙
No such thing as ‘pull, pull, pull…trial and error…”! If you used a ’try-net/test-net’. THEN you would know whether to put out the larger trawl or not! Cannot expect to just put over the larger net and AND EXPECT to feasibly catch shrimp to be worth your expenses AND time!!! If it was that easy THEN everyone with a boat would be shrimping…🤞🤞$$$🤞🏻🤞🏻
@@SaltyReflectionsyour doing just fine your not a big gulf boat you don’t have the room for one you learn the area you fish and you put the drags in and that’s all you can do know where and when to hit these keyboard shrimpers they don’t know shit I’ve done it all my life and the set up you got is fine for what you got maybe if it was me then I’d look into skimmer style set up if you in 15 ft or less or however big of skimmers you get that’s the best way really for doing bay shrimping in shallow water but trawl is better for deep water cuz you can only go so deep with skimmers but fuck what they saying y’all doin good and also slack y’all’s bibs off putt you about 3 ft of rope between cable and bib
White shrimp run in schools they hit and they miss have a great drag for 1 hour and then you make 2-3 and it’s less than the first you just gotta put the drags in you’ll get you every bit of 6-10 baskets in a drag with that net n boat
@savanahstar556 Thanks. I see a lot of small boats trawling around us that don't use a try net. The captains of these boats trawl this area almost every day of the week. I watch these guys in our area with experience and try to mimic what they're doing. Our boat is not set up just like there's, but I think we're doing OK for a small boat. All I can say at this time is we have found the shrimp.
@SaltyReflections wow,sorry to hear that..seems like things go smooth when you start but change quickly to the bad side..we done ok this week,could have been better but we got 90 🧺 baskets of shrimp 🍤..Monday we had a rudder shaft that broke in 2 so we had to come in and get it welded..gotta it fixed actually quickly when we got to the dock..welder man was waiting on us so it worked out good..went back out and finished the week up to Thursday night then we had to come in because of tropical storm ophelia was coming Friday into Saturday so we at the house waiting it out..
Yep, that's right. It has been good shrimp quantity the last couple of weeks here too, plenty of other issues as usual with boats & gear, though. 🥴🥵🙃 Thankfully, nothing too bad.
Like your videos but u film almost your whole pull, waste u should show pulling up net dumping the tail picking and stop filming until next pul and so on half your video is nothing boring sorry to tell you that but let's get some good footage of SC shrimping
There's another pully already there, we just weren't using it. I think the pull point on the bag is too high. We'll reattach it to a lower point so we can clear the transom. Thanks!
We've used them in our crab traps, and they worked pretty well. I've seen other commercial crabbers that make UA-cam videos that use shrimp heads in all of their traps.
Shrimp souffle, shrimp gumbo, boiled shrimp, steamed shrimp, fried shrimp, shrimp scampi, shrimp stir fry, sauteed shrimp, coconut shrimp...😊
YUMMY!
All the birds will happy!
Free meal. They love it.
A rough day on the water is better than a good day at work😄 Glad your hand is doing better Oliver! Ya'll be safe and have fun!
LOL! Thanks man. It's amazing how quick our bodies can heal from injuries. I'm thankful! A day of shrimping is work. You'll have to go with us this year and see what it's like.
Coming down Memorial Day weekend. Maybe I'll see you then. Take care.
@@SaltyReflections You have now entered the "commercial-side" of working as a shrimper!

You're very welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Whew !!! Hard work! But YUM good shrimp !!!
You're right! Hard work and effort bring big rewards.
Wow with a set up like that they can pull in a lot of shrimp
We're hoping for some 100 lb. plus pulls this year.
Are ya'll able to send the jelly fish to a local turtle sanctuary? Thanks for a wonderful shrimp video.
We threw all the jellyfish back.
Love love Strimp
LOL! I got shrimping fever.
Ol Captain Phillip good to see y'all on the water legends amongst men
Thanks man! You know I don't give up on anything and Phillip is the same way. I can't wait to get you boys out there and put yall to work. I love you man!

Cool looking ribbon fish.
They don't last long on a fishing line.

Waiting to get out in pamilco sound to give it a try
Good luck. Stay safe.

Must be hard on the boat pulling that long net and shrimp. It has to be really heavy!
The hardest part is pulling everything in at the end of the day. There's got to be a better way.

Cannot expect to just put over the larger net and AND EXPECT to feasibly catch shrimp to be worth your expenses AND time!!! If it was that easy THEN everyone with a boat would be shrimping…🤞🤞$$$🤞🏻🤞🏻
You're right. We're going to have to work on adding a try-net to help us find the location of the shrimp.
@@SaltyReflectionsyour doing just fine your not a big gulf boat you don’t have the room for one you learn the area you fish and you put the drags in and that’s all you can do know where and when to hit these keyboard shrimpers they don’t know shit I’ve done it all my life and the set up you got is fine for what you got maybe if it was me then I’d look into skimmer style set up if you in 15 ft or less or however big of skimmers you get that’s the best way really for doing bay shrimping in shallow water but trawl is better for deep water cuz you can only go so deep with skimmers but fuck what they saying y’all doin good and also slack y’all’s bibs off putt you about 3 ft of rope between cable and bib
This is her husband btw not her lol
White shrimp run in schools they hit and they miss have a great drag for 1 hour and then you make 2-3 and it’s less than the first you just gotta put the drags in you’ll get you every bit of 6-10 baskets in a drag with that net n boat
@savanahstar556 Thanks. I see a lot of small boats trawling around us that don't use a try net. The captains of these boats trawl this area almost every day of the week. I watch these guys in our area with experience and try to mimic what they're doing. Our boat is not set up just like there's, but I think we're doing OK for a small boat. All I can say at this time is we have found the shrimp.
Too big of net for a little boat
Yes, I think you're right. We've changed it out for a 35' net. My buddy hasn't tried it since this day.
I bet the shrimping was not good
Yep, like the title says, everything went wrong! 🙄
@SaltyReflections wow,sorry to hear that..seems like things go smooth when you start but change quickly to the bad side..we done ok this week,could have been better but we got 90 🧺 baskets of shrimp 🍤..Monday we had a rudder shaft that broke in 2 so we had to come in and get it welded..gotta it fixed actually quickly when we got to the dock..welder man was waiting on us so it worked out good..went back out and finished the week up to Thursday night then we had to come in because of tropical storm ophelia was coming Friday into Saturday so we at the house waiting it out..
Yep, that's right. It has been good shrimp quantity the last couple of weeks here too, plenty of other issues as usual with boats & gear, though. 🥴🥵🙃 Thankfully, nothing too bad.
Lol,slow down a notch
What is the ideal speed?
I think Shelly is about to lose her lunch
She lost her lunch, breakfast and everything from the day before. I felt so sorry for her.
I have Vertigo so..🤮🤢🤮
Thanks for coming trawling!
@@SaltyReflections enjoyed it as I do all your videos ! Stay Safe out there..
@@garywalton7176 Thanks brother! Take care and stay safe.
Like your videos but u film almost your whole pull, waste u should show pulling up net dumping the tail picking and stop filming until next pul and so on half your video is nothing boring sorry to tell you that but let's get some good footage of SC shrimping
Thanks. I'll keep your thoughts in mind. Thanks for the encouragement.
Your towing to fast
Thanks for the info. What is the ideal speed?
@@SaltyReflections ideal speed for trawling is 1.5 to 2.5 mph
Thanks. We typically pull 2-2.5 mph.
@@SaltyReflections good pace
🤮🤢
🥴
Put you a nother pulley up there make it a lot easier to empty your bag
There's another pully already there, we just weren't using it. I think the pull point on the bag is too high. We'll reattach it to a lower point so we can clear the transom. Thanks!
Should keep the shrimp heads to sell for crab bait
We've used them in our crab traps, and they worked pretty well. I've seen other commercial crabbers that make UA-cam videos that use shrimp heads in all of their traps.
