So how did all you openning day Shrimpers do? Annybody want to post some specifics like where you were, water depth, bait, and how many you got? Just curious...hope you all did well!

Umrules,
Shrimping Saturday was good once I figure it out. 3 sets with 2 pots and I had a limit. The most productive depth was around 250 feet. I don't have a sounder so had to do a bit of guessing on my drops. Bait was cat food. Type didn't seem to matter however I did much better when I took the top entirely off the can to get as much scent out as possible versus just punching holes in the can. I spent most my time just about a quarter mile North of the Edmonds ferry terminal.

Little Fish,
Thanks for the reply. I've only done this once before and that was in Hood Canal, so was just trying to get a lttle info on the sound shrimping. Anybody know if there are shrimp around Manchester/Blake Island???

Yes there are Blakley Rock has them as well as a ton of people fishing. You really have to watch the tides though. Outgoing only or a tiny incoming like we had this weekend. If nopt you pots will get blown off the edge. I pulled allot this weekend (by hand) but was rewarded with limits both days. Cat Food.
