WAY back when I was a kid my girlfriend's father was a shrimper fisherman. I went out shrimping with them in 1971 in Biscayne Bay. Let me tell you, it's really hard work. Every 15 mins or so all night long you bring up the nets and sort on the tray. There was only my friends dad on that boat and us 2 girls. Never worked so hard in my life. I have a lot of respect for her Dad he worked as shrimper for years and supported 4 children and had a nice little house in the Grove. I learned a lot that night so long ago

So good to see people back on their boats

[@Smalleyster]

I was a shrimper for Steve's Shrimp in 1999. I *love* Biscayne Bay at night! So sad to see them go.

One Captain singlehandedly maneuvering his single prop boat while holding on to the bow line of the one he towed in. Small intentional moves, no whiskey throttle. For those who are not familiar with single props and trailing rudder, they cannot be steered going backwards, you can turn in one direction by using engine torque by going in and out of gear and then for the other direction using the rudder once kicked in forward gear. A maneuver which takes years of practice.

I had a contact lens lab in Coral Gables. There was a guy that delivered me fresh shrimp in the morning at my lab. The shrimp were on ice and still alive. Those days are over.

People just won't learn that if they're going to let the current bring them to the dock, move in PAST THE CORNER and it be so much easier...

[@RealLife73]

My anxiety be through the roof! I can’t understand why some folks get their bow close to the dock and freeze up…just stop trying.

[@TOOMBSTONED]

2:56 I think I hear a Detroit diesel 😂😂

[@polishchachafishing]

Ohhh snap!! Almost lost his dang hands!!😮😮😮😮

[@polishchachafishing]

Daaanngg! 😂😂😂 back that thang up!

[@swflboatingchannel]

No commentary, thank God! Your videos are excellent but sometimes they are WAY too commentary heavy! Just a little feedback! Probably not the first time you’ve heard that! You do a great job otherwise, and enough of the crocodile already. We like boats!

[@larrycarr6545]

I’d say 85% of the knuckleheads at Blackpoint have no business driving or owning a boat. No docking skills, no driving skills and too big a checkbook!

[@transitjoe6560]

I was there last weekend. It was odd seeing no shrimp boats there.

[@AlfredMontaner]

Yea it's kinda sad

[@JeffinLowerAlabama]

Daniel great job on the video. Jeff in LA USA. We need a Daniel hat

[@seymourrackoff]

Alright 👍

[@twinbee13monsterhunter]

Why did all the shrimp boats leave black point? I notice their all gone. Why did they leave and where are they going? I can't find any information on why they left. The county kicked them out? Years ago all the crabbers and shrimpers got kicked out of cardsound.

[@margotconway8605]

I don't think there are any shrimp left in Biscayne Bay. The shrimpers left Dinner Key in Coconut Grove years ago for same reason

[@twinbee13monsterhunter]

​@margotconway8605 Theirs still plenty of shrimp in Biscayne bay we had one of the best shrimp runs ive seen in years last year., it seems all the shrimpers got kicked out of Miami dade because in MiamiDade everyone has to pay to have your boat docked now. I don't think these commercial fisherman were paying to have their boats docked. The county made improvements to the commercial docks then the shrimpers got kicked out. Im suspecting the county wanted to charge them money to have their boats docked.I know some of them trailer their smaller private shrimp boats to the boat ramps in Miami when shrimp run in the winter. I'm just wondering who's going to sell shrimp to the bait shops now.

[@mariners252]

derm has plans to fill in the canal to stop the dump from leaking into bay as much.....as least that's the excuse

[@carollxo1019]

Hey ALFRED! I watch you frequently. I'm visiting from NS Canada, in Miami Beach till Sunday. @1500 Ocean Drive. We're looking for unique boating experience. Can you help out? Just Lisa and myself. Love your energy, love the Chit Show!

[@AlfredMontaner]

Go do the Thriller at Bayside !

[@polishchachafishing]

🎉🎉let’s gooooooo

[@Corvette_pilot]

7:30 Maybe that’s there new boat being backed in the water! You know! Like a trade in! They got tired of shrimping and going to start pimping! 😂

[@WaterfrontJustin]

When you hear the fiberglass tear you know you fucked up

[@teresacastro8899]

QUE PASA!?😱😱😁

[@kellyklingler9900]

What are they doing with the shrimp boat ?

[@mauifilms4632]

They make fenders for docking bazillion dollar boats too.

[@judegoodale3423]

Cat got your tongue?

[@MAINEgirl_207]

😂😂😂

[@enochmunroe2035]

hello im from Nassau bahamas and im looking for a boat like the Lady Ginger around 50 to 65 feet hopefully twins motors

[@nathanbrownmolotov8697]

All the damn shrimp get shipped in frozen from Vietnam and South America these days. I remember living in Florida and buying fresh shrimp on the side of the road for $5.00 a pound. And it was the best.

[@slange455]

Alway amusing watch people with nice boat that don’t know how to dock but guess eventually they will learn

[@TERoss-jk9ny]

Those shrimp boats look awful.😢

[@twinbee13monsterhunter]

Those are working boats most crab and shrimp boats look this in South Florida

[@TERoss-jk9ny]

@@twinbee13monsterhunter: Wow… I used to see a-lot of them in Chorpas Christy, TX, and 99% of them looked a hundred times better than these. Maybe it doesn’t pay that well?

[@randiD123]

These 'horrible looking' boats are all over our coastlines . They are working boats, no one cares how it looks while they are bringing in seafood. Get out of your pristine plastic wrapped package bubble. Oh, and cattle farms and trucks look pretty rough, too.

[@TERoss-jk9ny]

@@randiD123: My 1974 Cabover Peterbilt is a working truck and it looks like a million dollar rig.

[@mariners252]

​@@TERoss-jk9ny does it get 50 pound traps with cement bottoms banging on it hundreds of times a day while getting pounded by saltwater in 6 foot waves regularly

[@johnswigler6512]

What's wrong with these guys

[@briancross6820]

Over half a century ago shrimp were in decline.NH biologist Fish And Game couldn't of supported and convinced government MORE ethical logics because of ideologies opposition comman senses towards less depletions.ANY or ALL have the concurrent conclusions of STATISTICS ‼️🇺🇸 OF THE NATION and perhaps if long GONE Numbers where switched and replaced in the ECOLOGICAL WORLD Concerned Citizen BJC friends and families of the shrimps and little ones.....
