Day 2: Headed to Edisto

All of the boats were able to go out for the second day of the season, and most of the boats took a right out of the channel and headed south to the waters off of Edisto.  Supposedly the shrimp are thicker down there, but I haven’t heard a report of their catch yet.  Jeff and Richie (F/V Miss Henrietta) and Capt. Jimmy “Big Red” Scott (F/V Mary Margaret) decided to stick it out off of McClellanville and had the water to themselves.  Jimmy wasn’t doing so well and decided to head to Edisto as well by mid-morning.  Jeff and Richie had the water to themselves and caught about 100 lbs. of nice white shrimp.  It was still pretty rough with seas 5-7 feet out of the east and the wind picked up to 20mph out of the northeast and east.  They also had a C130 buzz them about 200 feet over the water before it banked hard and headed north.  Depending on what the boats in Edisto are catching, they may decide to head down as well.  More on that when the report comes in…
