Coastal Traditions - A Shrimper's Life

This was my final production for my Audio Production and Announcing class at Georgia Southern. It had to be between 5-10 minutes

[@beasley658]

Used to shrimp on, the Gulf we would stay out thirty days at a time Brown Shrimping, Also clocked em, Run Days on the Beach, Offshore at night, Gave it up after almost sinking 150 miles offshore. Used to love it out there, also ran Butterfly,s in the Bayou when I was younger.

[@ricksmith6298]

Lol....clocking...

[@pressplay1072]

My grandpappy and dad shrimped in freeport tx and galveston in the late 60’s n 70’s. They had a 40 foot boat with50 foot net i think with 4 foot doors. I really miss these days, hard hard work but REWARDING. Its much harder these days because of over shrimping, pollution and strict laws. Good luck to you gentlemen shrimpers.....stay safe and thanks for putting them on our table to enjoy

[@terryg3921]

Great video. Thanks to all our coastal shrimpers. Best shrimp in the world!!!!!!!!!!

I know the fishing life can be really hard, but damn! Those boyz been eatin' good, so it can't be too bad!

[@imnotsurprised2653]

Love me some shrimp! Thank you Captain! Keep it coming ♥️✌️

[@geneporter4849]

There is some one on that boat that can cook that's a must when I was younger and doing it in the gulf GOD BLESS Y'all

[@JamesJones-cx5pk]

Shrimpin and pimpin ain't easy! If their lucky, a few fisherman will come by and trade a few cases of beer for trash fish/bait.😪 Trolling squid skirts with chum behind shrimp boats is golden.

[@barrycoutts4721]

Great to see beautiful fresh shrimp and not that Asian imported farmed rubbish. Do they keep any of the fish landed ? In Scotland we can’t keep it and has to be thrown back with someone busy so as to deduce as much death as possible in order to keep the levels of stocks up for future fishing

[@johnthompson3301]

very hard way of sorting the prawns kneeling on the deck in Australia we have a big table we land our catch on to sort the prawns much easer than kneeling on the deck

[@pogu7710]

[@fredfrissell4487]

I've had to go out on a outrigger to fix some doors, tough when the sound or ocean is rough.

[@ricksmith6298]

Lol....even harder when your drunk. Been there,done that.

[@skeetersaurus6249]

It DOES raise the question...why the hell ANYONE would want to fight the Bering Sea for snowcrab...when you can be T-shirts and fair seas to shrimp heaven...does it not?

[@Buckl]

enjoyed the video.

[@TheDADX13]

a very nice video...from somebody who knows what this is all about..

[@johnthompson3301]

We call them boards here in Australia not doors

[@hemelfp]

[@edwardwright278]

Used to do it on a smaller scale in th 70s our culling board was waist high not all that bending over. Hard heads were a bitch!

Daily fresh.

What are the things that look like blobs of jelly?

[@boppy4]

+Liberty1776 They are, in fact, a type of jellyfish. We call them "cannonballs".

[@robertgreenfeather7788]

Jellyfish or sea nettles.

[@deanfulford69]

Here in north Carolina we call em jelly ball's

[@garykirchner8468]

Liberty1776 Those are cabbage heads. A type of jellyfish.

[@CavinMa]

Dear captain, is this in galveston? or near houston? Please let me know the address of the pier. I want to buy some shrimp.

[@satlycracka4]

Ezthelife Com this is from Valona, Georgia

[@michaeldaugherty3540]

Buddy you want a Texas shrimp not no Georgian shrimp just go to a shrimping pier and ask

[@ernestverdin8831]

that's a bad ass boat.....absolutely beautiful fuck steel hulls and fiberglass I'll take a old wood boat anyday

[@timothygore5772]

I come from a shrimping family, though we have since moved on to tugs. My grandpa had a placard in his office that read "If God wanted us to have fiberglass boats, He would have planted fiberglass trees." It was right next to another that read: "Welcome to GA, owned and operated by the DNR." Old salts are salty. We operated three 73' oak boats built in 1979 at the old Desco shipyard in St. Augustine. We had them glassed just before selling them, but I remember going to the railway with my dad to pull the boats out and replace the ribs. It was pretty amazing to see big pieces of oak manipulated as such.

[@johntran3086]

the ice boat trawling for like 10-15 days not everyday go in and out like u said dude. they doing 4 net as a time

[@juliecaliff]

John Tran. No boats fish for 12-15 days with just ice. Plenty of twin trawlers make day trips out of Georgia.,

[@satlycracka4]

As Jul said. There are no ice boats that fish 10-15 days straight without off loading shrimp multiple times. The vessel in this film unloads shrimp daily.

[@tylerholt81]

Ice boat 7 days max maybe 9 if you dip and head everything. Brine tank and freezer stay out till you run out of groceries

[@jessebolton3423]

Well I don't understand about the size that you're running right there and you're running day trips they're leaving out at 3:30 in the morning you're coming back in the afternoon some of the b**** man you got a 80 ft boat you should be out for 30 days I've been doing this s*** since I was 14 years old and I'm 52 now every but ever worked on we always did 30-day runs that was either a ice boat or a freezer boat but I guess y'all just do it different over in Georgia and Louisiana cuz those boys down here in Florida I've been shrimping old Tampa Bay New Tampa Bay and the Gulf of Mexico and we all do 30-day trips we go 3 months and we do the Texas opening unless y'all actually hitting that much shrimp in one day that you're able to do a day trip cuz that's a lot of fuel you're burning but either way you had a hell of a cat and love your video

[@stevenwijaya8409]

So many wasted fish and jellyfish

[@marcr4566]

@The Bee Guy doesn't live while dumped on deck, then all the shrimp collected. By-catch then gets shoveled overboard. We are a wasteful species.

[@josephbennett728]

The by catch is food for seagulls and pelicans most of you know nothing about what goes on. On a shrimp boat

Lord we have strict fishing laws here in Texas so keep your mouth shut and tons of fish

[@kg7219]

this is an objectively true statement that can be backed up with science, our fishing activities worldwide are having a negative impact on the environment. But there are many snowflakes responding here that are too emotionally invested in their own cultural identity that they get offended when you speak the truth.
