it used to be but they changed it to 25' and raised the prices on commercials plus a lot more regulation.
maybe they change it since the last time I looked so I checked:
from DWLF
recreational trawls up to 16ft the license is $25
recreational trawls 16ft to 25ft the license is $80
and the limitations are:
.
Trawling During Open Season
and Possession Limits
.
During the open shrimping seasons trawls
25 feet and less are allowed for recreational
purposes.
Recreational shrimpers using trawls 16 feet
in length or less are limited to 100 pounds
(heads on) of shrimp per boat per day.
Recreational shrimpers using trawls between
16 and 25 feet in length are limited to no
more than 250 pounds of (heads-on) shrimp
per day per boat per day, if the shrimp taken
are used for bait or the fisherman’s own
consumption and are not sold, traded or otherwise
permitted to enter commerce.
