Shrimping and Crabbing season in Louisiana

[shadow]

It my be early but now i have to go thinking about boiled shrimp. What they are selling for on your in shadow. around 3 in houm/thib.

I just noticed but if you look real hard there is a squid looking at you.

I haven't checked in awhile but the last time I remember they were around 3 lb. It has been years since i bought shrimp. I still have a few in the freezer from last year.

Hey Joshua, I heard a couple of weeks ago, that if you weren't catching reds it was b/c you didn't have your hook in the water. But yesterday my father-in-law talked to a guy that catches all the time and he only had 1 red and 3 specks. He said the water was too dirty. I plan on making a trip out ther eventually but have to leave tomorrow for offshore for a week or so. Willl give it a try when I get back.

Hey Joshua, I still think it will be late May to early June before they start running but if you here something before then let me know and if I here something I will let you know.

I see your cooking em' with the head on.. You getting some of that brain tea... I am not a picky eater compared to most... I saw a buddy of mine suck the brain tea out of crawfish head one time... I will stick with the tails.. Never heard of anyone doing shrimp that way..

Not from LA, but when I lived in Orange, TX, I had the good fortune of fur trapping several crawfish farms to rid them of coons, mink, nutria and muskrats. Did a pretty good job of it, because the crawfish farmers were always giving me sacks of purged crawfish for saving them thousands of $$$ in profits. Best time I ever had, not to mention all the frog gigging I could do in the spring! Great times and surely miss them.

But there was always the crawfish festivals! My dad and I shrimped & oystered commercially as a pastime and made a little. We could usually catch enough nice blue crabs while shrimping to have plenty to eat. Our season in Texas begins on May 15th, shrimping that is, crabbing is always open.
