 Aunty M, it was not busy at all, maybe 1/5 of the normal or less. Funny thing though, we had one pot come up with only 3, and another with 0, and we were pulling 25 to 45 normal. Expect we got visited when the girls had to go to shore for the potty. We got limits of shrimp, clams and oysters for all six of us. Now I remember why Misery point launch is so named, found big waves straight onto the beach, current, and a truck and 20 ft sled blocking the ramp, the sled did not have much left above water, guess you could say sunk, heard later, that they put a rope on it and dragged it up on the beach in order to get it out. We went around the corner of the Point and got out of the wind and waited for the water to come up. By about 4 pm it was pretty easy, my partner and boat owner backed the trailor down and I ran the boat up on it uneventfully.

10.1 per pound...sounds like a Scampi. Aunty, what is average per pound?

Area 8-2 Aunty.....I noticed a huge size difference in the shrimp as well. How many people cull, or just keep the mondo sized shrimp?

[/quote] No soft plastics? That is the most fun way to fish for them! Are you one of those guys on the lower river with bell on your rod tip?  [/quote] The areas I fish the bottomfish have been looking at plastics for 20+ years, and lots of 'em. It's the difference between MAYBE a fish and a fish on nearly every drop. Tough call, but I'll go with the live stuff.  Ike
