Is it worth trying for shrimps? Or has the rain shut it down?
Thank you for any info 👍

Been mining friends and acquaintances for information from the Welaka area.....spotty and not a whole heck of a lot bigger. Whether we've had enough rain to flush the shrimp.....I doubt that. But......that maybe we've had enough to move the locus further north....or disperse and delay.....that is a possibility. Give it a week or so........they grow fast this time of year............. That said.....a friend did get a cooler full on bait at Welaka the other night......but.....we're talking day shrimping here.....unless you've access to a proper dock..... |

Pete, It’s a good time to try the fishes at Matanzas. The bait has been pretty thick for a couple weeks.
Buddy has pulled some good catches… ( assuming the shrimp aren’t quite ready)
Incoming seems to be best.

Mullet are moving......but.....all the rain......and more coming........red water in the intracoastal......which is seldom helpful to catching fish........ |

Caught a couple gallons of shrimp north of Palatka last Friday. Did best on the edges of holes. Two of us throwing 10’ and 12’ nets with 1.25" and 1.5" mesh. Even with bigger mesh the size of the shrimp was not great, they were small. We did come home with a dozen catfish and a few mullet which was good.
