Shrimp?

I thought you could not do any commercial shrimping unless you were 3 miles offshore, during closed Inside fishing until above mentioned dates. Someone please shed some light.

actually the federal waters offshore is never closed so if you are outside the state line boundary there is no season but in state waters you are "supposed to be shrimping only during open season dates.

its one of three things:

1 - they are in an area that is already open

2 - they paid someone off to shrimp illegally

3 - every single one of them is a test sample boat for wlf collecting test samples.
