Ever had this happen?

I was at the washout Friday for an afternoon trip drifting along with the South wind. The water was very pretty just off the channel and I starting seeing little pops on the water. I looked down and there were shrimp all around my boat! Thousands of them! Only problem, no fish! Not one trout, red, lady fish, gafftop, hardhead....Nothing! No blow ups, no shrimp jumping out of the water. Cant remember this ever happening on big lake. Hope it never happens again! Next time I would like to see a big school of yella mouths under them shrimp!

Last week the shrimp that I saw jumping in Big lake were small......maybe 100 count size. What size shrimp did you see?

They were not big, but they were comparable to the bait shrimp you can buy with a few nice ones mixed in.
