Shrimp & Crawfish

6/8/2013

0 Comments

 
Friday night, Ryan and the guys wanted to show us just how great shrimping really is.  Charley bought a fancy 1ft or 2ft green light and Pete bought a REALLY fancy 4ft light.  Between the two of them, they said it would light up the water around the whole boat and make the shrimp super easy to see.  We piled 6 of us onto Al's pontoon boat and headed out with the nets, lights and buckets to catch some shrimp.

We got out on the water around 8:30 but it doesn't get dark until at least 9 so we were just hanging out.  The later it got the more focused we got - watching the water for any signs of movement, looking for those beady little shrimp eyes.  We caught a few but they were far between and it was tough to be patient.  There were a bunch of local rednecks on the shore who look like they probably come out every night and they weren't catching anything either so we figured it wasn't us.  A little after midnight, we finally gave up and just took our couple dozen shrimp and a couple catfish home.

I was going to take some pics but our catch was pretty embarrassing so I didn't even take any pics of our whopping 8oz of shrimp we caught, LOL.  The plan was to bring the shrimp we caught to my work's annual Crawfish Boil on Saturday (today), but like I said, we just didn't catch enough.  We got to the park for the Crawfish Boil around noon and just hung out and ate for a few hours.  It was fun as usual :)  More to come soon!
