shrimping?
 

anyone know where to catch some shrimp?? Lake Charles Area

do you have a boat and can you throw a castnet?

yea have a boat and can throw a castnet

heard the shrimp were running at the weirs... that was a couple weeks ago though dont know if that where they still are

game wardens were there so make sure your legal!

Legal = 5 gal Bucket??

in the water

yep and yo net has to be legal

yep still catching behind Lamberts and at the gate. large and med with a few 18ct mixed in. Follow the crowd down east bank to grand bayou.

What is the legal length on a net? 6 feet?

8 foot

Don't forget to purchase your
La Shrimp tag from LWF headquarters.

I know a couple who caught their bucket today. So they are still there.
Water is still warm in the lake.
Wish it would cool down soon.

Never heard of this, We were checked by the game wardens last week and they didn't ask for any shrimp tag. They just wanted fishing license, life jackets and how much shrimp we had.

they been runnin at the seawall at least a half a bucket full each time and they been pretty big. are u eatin them or goin fishin with them

Im looking for some to go fishing with . . . . dont know the area reel well but i launch at prien lake, and usually run down to that marina headed towards big lake for shrimp. But i would like to find a place i can throw a net out and snag some

PARK
 

that is a long boat ride from prien lake park to grand bayou. i would launch at heberts or cocahoes now. if you lauch on the north end it will be cheaper to buy shrimp than to run down there.

A few weeks ago went to Turners from the salt water barrier. Just enjoyed the ride. Helped Chaves a little and chilled. I stopped by Calcacieu Point and got some shrimp, and continued on. Some times it's just great to be on the water.
