8/19 Big Lake Afternoon Trip

thanks for report. Cruising and fished a little saturday evening and noticed the same, tide moving out pretty hard and dirty water from turners on up.
Has calc pt been having live shrimp? Spicers is consistently out of them it seems, and I don't know the protocol on when its alright to pull up to a shrimp boat to trade beer for bait. If their nets arent out, is it ok to cruise on over to them, or what is a good radio channel to catch them on?

They will not sell to you on the water. Crabbers won't either. Cast net or artificial is the way to go. Save a bunch of money and catch just as well.

So how do you usually find the shrimp to catch with a cast net?
