Note: As of June 1, retain the heads in the field (in May you can toss em). I've been shrimping 15 or 16 times since my initial spot shrimp quest. Here's what I've learned, friends!
Please note: Heads must be retained in the field after June 1. So retain those heads! In May you can chuck em, June 1 and after you have to retrain in the field.
Hey Blake! I have the Scotty puller myself and although I love it as it pulls really well, my back hated heaving the pots over the side of the boat. I had an aluminum extension made to lift the pot puller higher off the side of the boat on the downrigger mount. By doing so I lift the put up high as I can then just pivot the entire pot puller on its mount and swing the entire works 180° and lay the pot right on the floor. It was cheap to have it built and my back loves me for it!! Just sharing! Tight lines, Buddy!
I am a long time fisherman in Washington it's great to see people shrimping a good spot to go to is squim there is no time limit there if you drop your pots close to protection island around 200ft yull pull up 100+ shrimp per pot also coho fishing is really good a sekiu now and in squim the limit per person is 120 to bad its closed now
@@WAFishQuest coho fishing in sekiu is really good at the moment just drop the line down about 60 to 90ft with a coho killer or green hoochie in the morning pink hoochie in the afternoon yull catch them all day the king salmon fishing there just slowed down but you can still catch 9-10lb kings every now and so but salmon fishing is bomb for coho at the moment tho I'm am chasing kings at the moment 😂keep fishing!🤙king salmon have been coming late this year king fishing is quite slow but cohos are really good fishing now
As a fellow Asian I can tell that Shingo (?) is well trained in Ninja-Do, which is why he can't be identified on camera and moves as quietly as a mouse. Of all Ninjas, the selected few who have boats are the best ninjas, so consider yourself fortunate!
Man i think i need to start doing this rather than buying em at the store. i guess at the long wrong i’ll be spending nothing but time and maybe few dollars for the bait. Paying 25 to 30 bucks a pound or buying 4 cages? i’d def go shrimping. Great vid man! i learned a lot
Sautee in butter and olive with mushrooms, basil, garlic, and a little squeeze of lemon. Pour over your favorite kind of spaghetti noodle and enjoy. This is my favorite recipe for spot prawns.
That was my understnading for years, Melaqua. But they must have changed it. If you look at the 20-21 regs page 142 it states "Shrimp heads may be removed while in the field, prior to coming ashore." Wardens have told me the same, because up to about 5 years ago I did save the heads, and they told me I didn't need to. thanks for watching and commenting!
@@Melaqua unfortunately I can't put a note in the video anymore. But I'll put it in the description and a pinned comment. Hopefully, a warden would be understanding, since the purpose of the rule is to not smuggle spot shrimp, but in Hood Canal, ONLY spot shrimp is open.
Is this a 15’ Smokercraft Alaskan? I’m looking at getting one maybe and this seems like a great size for shrimp, crab, and salmon. Thanks for the great videos!
if you watch my second "as the crab pot turns" you'll see some coonstripe enter the crab pot. That pot was dropped in East Oro Bay in Anderson Island. But I'll be danged if I can get those coonstripe to actually enter my shrimp pots! (I've tried twice... have the smaller meshed pots too)... Outside of that, I haven't targetted them.
Washington Fish Quest I don’t blame you. There’s always up the peninsula and across the Port Townsend ferry. A quest to the San Juan’s would be awesome to see. You have the best Washington Fishing channel. It’s not bragging or boasting like the rest. Just a guy who Loves to Fish
Washington Fish Quest I guess if you’re using cat food as bait, then that’s going to be on the head/guts... I just love cooking them with the heads on because it imparts so much more shrimp flavor, and sucking the heads is delicious... although that’s with ones that didn’t recently feed on cat food or some other bait concoction. I’m sure it must be hard to gamble on another bait cuz you only have a short window and you know what works, but maybe just some fish from the freezer? Cool video regardless, exciting to see you pull up some full pots! 🤙🏼
Ngl $500 for the Scotty is a bit of a ripoff for what it is. $300-$350 would be more appropriate considering its capability. I picked up the ace for $650 recently, Scotty works just fine if you can’t justify the extra cash but in terms of value per dollar definitely seems lower
You ain't wrong! It's dang near bulletproof is it's greatest asset. I assume the Ace is too tho. But agreed, the price is crazytown. And this was filmed way pre-suoer inflation. Thanks for the comment!
