Tampa Fishing Report,
Hit the water last Wednesday night at about 7:30pm we were going out to get some shrimp but thought we would try out the fishing before it got dark. We started fishing just north of Ft. Desoto Boat Ramp. We fished top water and had quite a few hits from smaller reds and even caught on that was right at limit of 18" we were getting bit regularly so we released him and went for something bigger. We didn't catch any within the slot by dark so we switched over to Catching Shrimp. A strong Headlamp, Good Walking shoes, A small hole Net and a container to keep the shrimp in is all you need. Oh and water about knee to thigh high. Then start scooping em up. We caught about 150 between the two of us and left for the night.

I know exactly where you were shrimping. You are 100% right about the equipment you need but some is better than others.
ReplyDeleteA friend of mine perfected the net and made it into a trap. Check it out at the website we set up. http://www.ozelloshrimper.com/ The background image on our site is Ft. Desoto and all the equipment is handmade in St. Petersburg. We usually go out at Bunces Pass around late April to early July. After the season is over, we have enough shrimp to eat all year.
Hope to see you there next year!
