Hey Willie! The shrimp boats are here! About 1 hour out of Port A where the last set of ships are at anchor. Just wanted to give you a heads up! Good luck on your trip!

But what Willie, et al really need is or them to be working 2-1/2 - 3 hours offshore.

You can track the movement and location of shrimp boats (and other marine traffic) here. Those identified as "fishing vessels" are mostly shrimpers ...

tracking shrimp boats

al least yall are safe from the cuda with Brian aboard

C_W, damn good to hear from you.

Appreciate the heads up on the shrimpboats. Hope you caught a bunch when out there.

Aug 8th group is going to give it their best shot. Should be a good time.

holler next time on the Island.

Let me know if any spots open up. My wife and I would love to go.


Thanks,

-Max

Fro those on the TFF, group email sent.

Max, will do so, suggest you send an email for faster response.

According to Bobby's link, I see no action as far as deepwater fishing vessels. cool link!
prep for the heat!!!!
see everyone at the dock!

There may be an issue with that page because shrimpers are usually all over it and I see none, Not sure why.

Y'all be sure to post up pics of your trip.

maybe cause there's no shrimp there...???/

the shrimpers were there. we fished 7 or 8 of them. Blackfin bite was a slow pick but good fish.
I think we ended up with 21 BFT's for 16 anglers.
plus 2 scamps, 1 almaco, 5 vermillion (FREIGHTLINERS!), a dusky that probably went 100#.
and about 9 billion gigantic bonito's.
I mean big. I have never seen schools and schools of 10-15# bonito, but I did today. Actually, they were huge fun.
Big props to Willie and TOO for organizing another fun summer trip. Really enjoyed the company.
I would also like to point out that no barracudas were encountered, although there was a "ghost" yellowfin that made a short appearance.(I'll just leave it right there)
Until next time..............
