Randy Pausina, head of fisheries for the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries,
noted that this year’s shrimping season won’t be getting underway south of Big Lake until June 2, and the shrimp counts taken a couple of weeks ago were much smaller than usual throughout coastal Louisiana.
“We’re normally talking about shrimp that are 70- to 120-count this time of year,” Pausina said. “This year we’re looking at 1000- and in some cases, 2000-count shrimp.
“That’s unheard of. There’s no doubt the cold and extended winter is a factor, whether it’s Lake Borgne or Big Lake.”
