Nice White Shrimp, and… Oysters!

F/V Cape Romain at sunrise.

I was down at the dock yesterday watching Chip unload the F/V Cape Romain and waiting on Jeff and Richie to get back to the dock.  Both boats had about 400 lbs. of beautiful 16/20 count white shrimp.  That’s not quite as plentiful as we’d like to see, but the shrimp are definitely out there.  Boats have been dragging all over the area and reporting about the same catch.  Everyone is hoping for a great month in October.

I have been getting a bunch of calls in the past few days asking when oyster season starts, and the answer is: tomorrow!  We’re going to be out on the lease on Bull’s Bay tomorrow, and there’s some beautiful oysters there.  If you want some of the first oysters of the season, give us a ring (843-568-6380).
