Even though we've pulled plenty off our dock in Fruit Cove the draw resulting from the current size of the shrimp in the Welaka to Lake George area was such that we drug the boat to the farm and yesterday went a messed with them a while.
Tides are kind of messed up due to the persistent east winds and the upcoming full moon but with a bit of looking there are plenty of good sized shrimp to be had. Using a 5/8 mesh so as to cull the small stuff......and shaking/tickling it a bit on the bottom to give them more time to escape......the count with the heads on is about 19-21. That's after picking out the very small number of smaller ones that still get hung in the larger mesh net.
Though......the smaller ones are getting set aside for good use on a hook.
Next few days would be a good time to get at them......Monday and Tuesday when the wind is as settled as it'll get and the moon is near on full such that the tides sort of act normal, that should produce.
Not many with red legs, something that is sure to change with the coming front.
