    Default Phantom made me do it !!


    Had a friend call with an open boat last night & wantin to go shrimpin. Put in at Riverbreeze at 9, tide was still comin in so we poled around a few islands with no flounder to be found. Once the tide went slack we went back to the spot & set-up, started to catch a few here & there, all decent size. It was quiet at first but the later it got the more boats started to show up, it was busy but not crowded. The shrimp slowed down & I knew the alarm clock was gonna come quick in the morning so we packed it up at 2:30. They were not all monsters & wish we coulda stayed longer but this guber still gotta work. Caught 60-80, enough for us to have a good snack. Might go back this weekend but the tides will be late.

    Should be about 4 hours left of outgoing tide at sundown on Saturday in Oak Hill. Planning to get over there hopefully around noon and fish till about 5 and then move and get set up on the shrimps. Only problem might be the ENE winds, really prefer S or SW winds. But we planning to give it a go again.

    Long as it has the S in it! Your probably right though as that would blow em off the flats into the ICW.

    WTG Brian ! ! ! ! !
    I went to RRB again last night = got 80 nice-uns by 11pm.......
    Was waiting for them to run like they did the other night = didn't happen,
    just one here, one there ....
    I got my same spot as the other day, and, got to say, felt bad for them other guys
    around me = they were getting a lot less just 20 feet away.....
    That's what happened to me last year = get there too late to get "the honey spot"
    and wind up watching someone else swooping them etc, etc, etc, etc .........

    It looks like north winds for Sat but very light, had a decent southeast wind last night.

    Might go again tonight or this weekend, Sat/Sun morning may be good from 2-3AM til daylight.

    I will let you know what I find if any.

    Ok so I might be going crazy from the lack of sleep but my buddy talked me into it again last night.
    I went home after work yesterday & did the usual routine, went to bed at 8PM & back up at 1AM
    On the water & catchin shrimp at 130, stayed until 430, tide was still movin good but the shrimp slowed down.
    Headed shrimp til 530, then layed back down, back up at 7am time to go to work

    The water was a little dirtier than last night but still ok, lots of trash(grass/leaves)
    Did better but still not a bucket full, probably had a little more than twice as much from last night(couple 100)
    The guys around us were catchin more in their box nets than they were dippin, so they might
    be worth the hassle is ya got em. We have not been using 1 just dippin, we were around channel marker 75
