We have enough fresh shrimp in Louisiana waters but too many restaurants in the state continue to purchase imported shrimp. We should All Boycott these establishments especially those along the southern coast. Sorry, but I had to get that out!🇺🇸
Been doing that forever. If it’s not local to us. It just isn’t the same. Same with the packs of crawfish tails if I don’t feel like peeling for a dish. I’ll go without before buying that Chinese crawfish. Don’t know who buys restaurant food and pays into any other subpar product
That sounds like a great idea! Propose this to your state legislators. If that goes nowhere start a petition. See if you can get a referendum on the ballot..
When I was a young lad, my Dad taught me a valuable lesson. Look for a gal that's not afraid to get dirty, and by that he meant the kind of gal that you could go fishing with, hunting with, or even working in the garden with, because when you are doing it together it's noy like one of you is working and the other isn't, it becomes you both are livin' it together the way the Good Lord intended. He also said, if a girl has long painted nails and always smells like flowers then the only thing she will ever be good for is being pretty, and you put pretty things away because they will either break real easy or they will make you go broke. Keep doin' what you are doin'. You are on the right path in life!
Mine told me "Before you marry a girl, look at her mother, she will be just like her" I didn't listen. Now I have 8 more years on my sentence with the devil incarnate until my son is an adult.
Thank you Joey for bringing us along with you and your family, it reminds me of my youth and all the bountiful seafood we have access to for those true Louisiana families. You and yours are a true Blessing, Love your content, looking forward to your next adventure.
That’s one way of a few. I used to do it also an always enjoyed to. I did it with butterfly skimmers. Looks like the boat has wings with the nets on that lower on each side. Big difference is when the pocket of the net comes up to be emptied. The boat keeps moving and the catching part of the net stays in the water. Only part comes in is the very tail to be emptied. So while that’s being done. An the stuff not wanted is being picked out. You’re still catching. So bytime your done a getting it in chest. It’s time to pull it back onboard and empty an repeat. More work picking since it’s constantly catching. That way is just more work overall. But used to make sure to catch enough to sell to pay for time fuel a fill my freezer completely a give family a friends a little extra. But got to busy overtime an took it off the boat an sold it unfortunately. Good times though
That's what's up. Nice episode! Your editing skills are good to thanks for the content. I'm from ponchatoula lived in manchac on lake Pontchartrain for years. I'm working out in North Carolina now so it's good to see a bit of home. Keep doing what your doing and thanks again 👌🏽
Now that was some good grocery shopping. Can’t wait maybe I’ll be able to make the August season. You and your family be safe out there catch y’all later👍✌️🛥🎣
I'm retired from the oil fields for 10 years, but looking around your video, is that Terrebonne Bay you're dragging? I worked for Murphy's out of Dulac many Decades ago.. I grew up on the eastern end, Venice, lol Grew up Trawling there.
That's awesome fun right there. Dad took us on 2 to 3 trips every season back in the 70's. Same set up with a 16 footer. The fresh fried shrimp mom would make were second to none. Great memories for your family. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing this awesome video with us I used to commercial fish and shrimp for many years I still have my shrimp boat but now I'm disabled I definitely miss it
I appreciate your explanation of how the trawl-net works. I googled shrimp nutrition during this video and am happy to learn that they are good for health.
Girl friend you hands had to be tore up not using gloves ... Good catch . You all commercial or for family and friends . What is that about a 16 foot troll ? Terrebonne Bay ??
Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing your videos with us. We were in that Lake this past weekend and caught some nice Shrimp. Gotta Love Louisiana. Looking forward to your next video. 👍👍
Great footage and creative shots Joey! Really enjoyed the video. My son and I took a trip out of Cocodrie for the start of the season. That will be our video this week as well. Here's hoping it does at least half as well as yours. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for taking me along Joey! I used to drag for shrimp with my best friend before I had a stroke and now I'm not able to but you brought back a lot of great memories! great video!
I'm looking at all that excellent bait you're throwing back in! Those baby croakers are used by lots of fishermen for trout and reds! They're great for flounder as well! When I lived on Galveston Bay I had a couple of friends that used try nets to get personal shrimp and they'd save me the croakers and squid for bait. It beats the hell out of buying them at bait shops!
Awesome. Been shrimpin with my uncle here in NC on the intercostal waterway. Need to get myself a trawl and try my hand at it. Keep up the good work! 👍💪💯
Hey Cajun Girl, What area do you hail from? I'm from da Westbank and remember going with my Dad when I was a young teen. I used to throw dem boards out & gather them in, but l love Picking da best!! Bust dem Crabs CG, when you're running those traps. Enjoy.❣
Look like Boudereaux’s Marina down Four Point Rd. That crab patty and the shrimp patty sandwich with the onion rings at Ceana’s is on point. We are at Southern Comfort
i enjoyed this video ive got a new trawl set up but never put it behind my boat dont know the first thing about shrimping it was an impulse buy to go shrimping with my son. Any videos you have or information you have would be greatly appreciated.
Definitely miss doing that. Used to do it with skimmers but got to busy an ended up selling it but kept the boat. Good times. May have to have another one made to do it again
Flat lander here, do you need a commercial license to trawl? Or a normal state issued license. Damn that looks fun & can only imagine how the eatin is gonna be fire
Only need a commercial license if you’re selling shrimp , with a 16’ license your allowed 100 pounds of shrimp and there’s one that’s a little more expensive for bigger trawls also
I actually made it using an old trawl as a pattern it’s plastic webbing 1-1/2 mesh had to add more chain to the bottom rope because the plastic is lighter in the water than the old one
