While on our recent Fall Break vacation in Florida I observed the shrimp boats netting closer to shore than I ever had before. October was the beginning of daylight shrimping season, so they were really going at it … about eight boats working together. Amazingly, they were shrimping just beyond the beach sandbar … within long casting distance.

Here are a few pics …


This is my favorite … silhouetted in the morning sun …


My Penn Captiva heavy-duty rod … just for perspective …


Tag-teaming the shrimp. (That’s my daughter lounging on the beach.)
