We ran over from Everett Saturday morning - along with many, many other boats.

Our shrimping was fairly successful in the end, but we had our share of headaches along the way.

We dropped our 3 pots right at 9:00am and the current had pushed 2 of our floats under by 9:02am. They didn't pop back up until almost noon. So, we spent the first three hours looking for our 2 lost pots and trying to get the 3rd to stick to the bottom...it kept drifting away.

I the last hour, however, we got 95 shrimpees.

We dropped a guy off at the launch on the NE side of Hwy 104 at about 2:00pm. There wasn't a lot of water on the ramp, but boats were doing OK getting out, considering the current running through there. Our big mistake was setting his shrimp pot up on the cooler so we could hand it to him once he was on the dock. I bumped the throttle to get us up to the dock and the shrimp pot tumbled off the back of the boat. Coincidentally, this was the pot that we didn't loose at 9:00am...

Darn - gotta keep that stuff in the boat!
