Race to the Dock

The race is on.

Jeff sent this photo to me yesterday afternoon of Capt. Gardner McClellan on the F/V Miss Georgia racing Jeff and Richie back to the dock to set the market price for the day.  Both boats caught between 450 and 500 pounds of brown shrimp.  The brown shrimp are running 26-30 (head on), and there are some white shrimp showing up in the 10-15 range.  Jeff and Richie won the race to the dock, by the way.

They are doing dock work today and changing out the brown shrimp nets for the white shrimp nets in anticipation of the fall run.  They want to drag them for a few weeks to get any kinks worked out before the shrimp show up.
