I mentioned 100 on the first pull, but that was between TWO pots (so up to 50 each) that had been in the water from 7:30 am to 1:30 pm. My successful sets have been from 230-250' north of Edmonds.

I literally used everything for bait. I found some rectangular disposable tuperware type containers at Safeway, drilled lots of 1/2" holes in them, and can fit two containers in the bait compartment of my pots. One container in each pot I filled and froze with Puss 'n Boots mixed with some dry Friskies. The other container in the pot I filled with unfrozen P'nB and Friskies with a dose of Herring or Anchovy oil poured over the Friskies. If I had a little P'nB left in a can, I'd just mush in down in the bait area between the two plastic containers. Finally, I had bought a few small bags of Ace of Baits commercial shrimp bait and though it wouldn't fit in my bait area, I just tossed one in the bottom of each pot. On my short sets, I tossed in some oil packed tunafish.

We probably "caught" a few more shrimp than I mentioned, but we're fairly diligent about keeping to the 1 3/16" carapace minimum. I'm kind of curious whether others are throwing some back like we are!
