Saturday Shrimping Hood Canal (5/16)

Thinking weather looks nice for a morning of shrimping.

Would take the ferry if I had a carpool partner. Anyone interested?

Will share the bounty if you don't have a shrimp pot.

Leaving from Seattle.

Did some shrimping here in PA. This weekend  I got atotal of 56. Pretty nice on sat5/16 sunday 5/17 a little chop but still approachable. Open everyday til sept or quota (not sure how that is figured) Took my son with me on sunday and he loved it. It was his birthday and I got him a wet suit and top (used and cheap) want to get as much as I can for the freezer.

Heres my son, ready to go!

Looks like good times. Thanks for the pics and report. That bucket of shrimp is such a WAF builder ain't it?

Can someone post a pic of the styles of shrimp pots?

I'm planning on coming up this summer and this looks like fun.  I'm hoping to do some free diving for dungeness like I used to in Hood Canal in the 80's and maybe some oyster slurping too.
