Palatka City Pier 8/30/11

[killula]

Went shrimping yesterday with my cousin visiting. My first time shrimping solo, and actually thowing the net and not just picking up shrimp. I limited out and helped my cousin get 1/3 bucket before running out of time, we stopped at 10pm and left them thick! Mostly mediums with a few larges. A bunch of throwbacks. If anyone was out there with me, I was the huge chinaman catching all the shrimps at the end of the pier. Donated my bait to the guys at the pier when I left. They are thick, but smaller then what I saw in fruit cove.

Hopefully they will get bigger by the next full moon.
I was using the shrimp peeler from our forums for 4 hours last night...
