Opening Day Report

As it turns out, two boats did make it out yesterday.  Richie and Jeff got to the entrance of the creek first and decided to have a go of it.  The rest of the boats turned around because of the 6-8 foot seas and strong winds out of the east.  Captain Charles of the F/V Sandia made an appearance later in the day.  Jeff claims it was the roughest seas he has ever shrimped in, and it definitely affected the catch.  The had about 30 lbs. of white shrimp and a bunch of bruises by the end of the day.  Jeff shot some video footage and will be posting it soon.  Hopefully it will calm down a bit, but it doesn’t look like it for the next week or so.
