The commercial shrimpers usually start about April 1st, so they can get their tonnage in before any sport pots hit the water for their 80 shrimp limit. Sport guys used to go first, but the commercials changed that.

Normally, the commercial set-up just have two buoys with a bunch of pots strung together, with each boat running several strings.

You can check to Edmonds transit moorage to see if its full of commercial shrimp boats.
