Testing Out a Shrimp Trawl (Catch and Cook)

[@missynewton8120]

That’s so cool that you use Cavenders!! It is made in the small town that I live in Harrison Arkansas it’s always been here since I was a kid!! Cavenders makes everything better!! Great catch today! Another great video Jared! Those Shrimp look Awesome!! Have a great rest of your week!!

[@OutsidetheLevees]

I love it!

[@missynewton8120]

@@OutsidetheLevees yes! It is AWESOME! I may have to send you some when they have their big Black Friday/Christmas sale! Can you tell me or message me your shipping address or tell me where it is on your page? Thanks!

A one time commercial bay shrimper from Texas here. I agree with a comment below about a tickler chain. It will kick up the bottom crawling shrimp into your net. Also, I would always steer a zigzag course, so your net is most always pulling thru an area not churned up by the propwash. You can adjust the chains to change the angle the boards are digging. And lastly, you need to build you a cull box. I made mine portable, and I think it was about 5'x3', and the end hung over the gunwale, making it easy to shove bycatch out the end and back in the water using your shrimp rake.

[@OutsidetheLevees]

I have one but it takes up a lot of space in this boat. I think adjusting the angles would help.

[@JJ-ub4ih]

I was a TX commercial shrimper, in muddy situation can't let it sit. Always keep it moving to avoid mud ups.

[@JJ-ub4ih]

Doors could be nosing..

[@JJ-ub4ih]

Take up 1 link on top chains maybe 2.

[@JJ-ub4ih]

It's digging to hard on the rear take up a link or two..

Hi Ms Mississippi enjoying this video and i have to say shrimp salad is one of my favorite the other is shrimp etouffee over rice I would love to see you make it thanks for sharing 🔥💯✔️

[@OutsidetheLevees]

Yes maam thank you so Much

[@mikemiller8440]

Thanks again for another awesome video I really enjoyed it and as always I'm really looking forward to seeing the next video

[@OutsidetheLevees]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@joeyguidry1231]

Keep your wheel wash out the mouth of the trawl, use a tickle chain about 19" in front the bottom line, & all you need is 3 leads on the bottom, 1 in each wing & 1 in the middle. Been doing this all my life. From South Lafourche trawling the ponds behind Golden Meadow. You got it dude. And make you a small picking box.

[@OutsidetheLevees]

Joey is there a way I can contact you to ask some questions?

[@rammone5241]

We love them small shrimp, they make good shrimp cakes. You gotta have the batter for it, we used to toss them back too, in Texas you can only keep 15 lb per person. My neighbor showed us their Korean pancake recipe, with shrimp, veggies, chilies, they made this crazy addicting sauce for it. Keep them dinks, just gotta be creative, plus those are the size I keep frozen for bait, straight on the hook. Can't wait until the shrimp start running there, we love seeing your road side shrimping.

[@OutsidetheLevees]

Wow. Ive never heard of that. I need to look into it.

[@samuelnelson7429]

I was wondering if you could trawl from a regular boat. Mystery solved. Figuring it out is half the fun. Those young men from Campo’s made it look easy on your previous video. Thanks for the excellent content, sir.

[@OutsidetheLevees]

Yes I’m supposed to get Zack from Campos out on my boat to see if we can tune this thing up

[@COOPERSCICHILDS]

Great video love the shrimp season 😋 👌🏿

[@youroutdoors5453]

That was awesome, I remember when you went with uncle Wimpy and caught some good shrimp. I need a trawl...lol. Love shrimp season, cant wait to to go out and get some after my Oklahoma dove trip. God bless and see you on the next one.

[@OutsidetheLevees]

Hell yeah bro shoot some doves!

[@tobindinger9115]

This was awesome Jared!

[@OutsidetheLevees]

Appreciate you brother

[@MrBIGNAWD]

COOL VIDEO JARED... NEED A PICKEN BOX TO KEEP THE BOAT CLEAN AND GO THROUGH UR CATCH AND WASH IT DOWN.. TICKLER CHAIN A MUST... WHEN YOU PULL NET TO BOAT AND ITS FULL OF MUD, START UP MOTOR AND DRAG ON SIDE BOAT TO WASH IT OUT BEFORE BRINGING INTO THE BOAT... GO ALIL FASTER WHILE PULLING.. GOOD LUCK AND FIND THE DEEPER CUTS...

[@OutsidetheLevees]

Yeah I thought about that after the fact. Need to just tie it off and run it a bit but that stuff was like glue too. I think it’s not the best spot to trawl bottom real soft.

[@GregBrown-e1m]

That salad looks good! Now I’m hungry

[@OutsidetheLevees]

I’m ready for another one

[@dannyneal9713]

I just found the video dk why KZbin didn’t notify me on this video. I have never seen anyone pull a trawl with a surface drive! 🤯 this is great news I myself have a surface drive I know what daddy is asking for Christmas 😂

[@OutsidetheLevees]

Heck yeah get you some bro

[@LeeHutto-ll8ct]

I agree with the comments. I grew up commercial shrimping in McClellanville, South Carolina. You definitely need a tickler chain attached to your shrimp doors. I would also take some chain off of your bottom line so it’s not digging as much.

[@OutsidetheLevees]

Yes I think taking some leads off will help maybe adjust the pitch too

[@dontrump9362]

Hello from Florida 🌴Looks like you are pulling a 16 foot trawl….you need to put a tickler chain on the boards to run a couple feet in front of the trawl. Your chains on the boards can be adjusted to dig deeper or shallower….it really has to do a lot with the RPM….the faster you go, the deeper your boards will Dig. Enjoyed the video Jared. Have a great week. 🇺🇸👍🙏

[@OutsidetheLevees]

Wouldn’t going faster and digging the boards deeper kick more mud into the trawl? Bottom is very soft here in many spots not like sand bottom.

[@dontrump9362]

@@OutsidetheLevees yes, that is why I mentioned it. Not sure how fast you were pulling the crawl. You should be able to adjust the chains on the boards to not let them dig in…..get a tickler chain as it will kick up the shrimp that are buried on the bottom. I painted my boards when I made them….when I stop the boards pop up along with the cork line. Build yourself a pick box with doors on each end to dump your trawl in as it keeps your rig much cleaner. Have a great week Jared. 🇺🇸👍🙏

[@honda3oo]

@@dontrump9362 a tickle chain works great for a beach like were you are at hard bottom. but not in lousiana with muddy bottom and a bunch of trash we catch our limit evertime we go out with no tickle chain. the only time we put our tickle chains on is when we go out to the beach.

[@browning123ify]

Need a tickle chain an pick up your speed to help wash out the mud an when pulling up drag your net around and wash it out

[@browning123ify]

An also do circles when setting your net out instead of a straight line

[@OutsidetheLevees]

How many mph y’all normally run?

[@browning123ify]

@@OutsidetheLevees depends on if your pulling for w white shrimp or brown shrimp faster for white shrimp slower for brownies

[@honda3oo]

@@OutsidetheLevees we run under 3 mph in southeast lousiana. no tickle chain either bottom has to much trash and mud for a tickle chain! i have been wanting to bring my rv up there and check out st benard!

[@OutsidetheLevees]

@@honda3oo what do you think went wrong in this video based on your experience? Just the wrong type of bottom?

[@GuntherVonB]

I think I've lost count of how many methods you have to catch shrimp! 🦐🦐🦐🦐

[@OutsidetheLevees]

Man I still might have some more lol

[@BrentStAmant]

You need to pull a little faster for the white shrimp brother and make a picking box 😁👌

[@OutsidetheLevees]

Will def try it

[@homey3051]

No shrimp left behind !!!

[@OutsidetheLevees]

No sir

[@BayouSelf]

Great video! Y’all should’ve put the basket in the water before picking so it could sift out some of that mud

[@OutsidetheLevees]

I think next time I will tie it off and run the boat a while. But also next top will find a spot with harder bottom

[@noncched6839]

Did you forget to zig zag, maybe the prop wash from the motor got in your trawl?

[@OutsidetheLevees]

Yeah we did and water should have been deep enough so that wasn’t an issue. I think it’s a matter of speed and board angle

[@greggrondin3034]

That mud was crazy

[@OutsidetheLevees]

I know man

[@robmetcalfe8902]

Great job. What size is your motor?

[@OutsidetheLevees]

It’s a 40 hp

[@FloridaBlackwater]

Let’s go!

[@OutsidetheLevees]

Thank you brother

[@toneydriver3459]

Need to pull faster and closer 6:43 6:45 to the boat your in shallow drag it close the deeper the further back the doors are acting like dredges kicking

[@OutsidetheLevees]

What depths and rope Lengths?

[@toneydriver3459]

@OutsidetheLevees as shallow as you were I would've pulled them about 25 ft back assuming you was in 5 or 6 feet of water and pull them faster a bit more your doors was so far back that they was dragging through the mud you want the doors to just skim the bottom you may even want to get smaller shoes maybe if you can't get those to pull right just remember the shallower the closer and faster to keep the doors up

[@2Jwain]

elevation on your hook points and a little more speed. Elevation stops mud.

[@OutsidetheLevees]

Yep we are making adjustments thanks

[@larrystephens7437]

I like the concept but the plan still needs a little work.

[@OutsidetheLevees]

Hey man just get out there and figure the rest out. That’s how we do it

[@noebarrera6401]

May be a dumb question but instead of picking all the shrimp from the mud, why don’t you keep them in the basket and rinse them off then pick out the debris?

[@OutsidetheLevees]

It sticks together like glue that’s why it was bound up.

[@noebarrera6401]

@@OutsidetheLevees ah ok makes sense

[@glendaroberts5965]

Jared wouldn't have been easier to stick the basket in the water and at least swish the mud out?

[@OutsidetheLevees]

Unfortunately not it was too sticky it wouldn’t wash that easy

[@joanneganon7157]

Hey Jared and François👋. Shwimps are on the menu🎉. Next time can you pull the net closer to the boat, so it runs with the boat? Like a skier but under water🤔. Or does it have to be on bottom? Maybe they wher shrimp beds 🥴. You'll figure out 🙏

[@OutsidetheLevees]

Yes the shrimp are on bottom so it has to be down there. We’ll get it figured out no big deal

[@livewithnick]

Could you have pot your basket in the water and washed the mud out easier?

[@OutsidetheLevees]

Yeah I didn’t really expect it to be that muddy but you could tie it off and drive a bit to wash some

[@freaksamungus]

You going to slow, and probably pulling against the current. Gotta go with it.

[@OutsidetheLevees]

Yes sir we are making adjustments thank you

[@GautamHarridath]

Could it be you were running to slow maybe if you pick up the speed a little

[@OutsidetheLevees]

I would think going faster would cause the boards to dig more. I’m pretty sure it was just the type of bottom. Ideally you’d want a harder bottom.

[@brendanashby6624]

Why not you shake it in and out of the water to go through the sides of the bucket the sand

[@OutsidetheLevees]

No that stuff is like cement it doesn’t break up

[@mixitupkeeney5596]

Speed your speed is not right faster would keep you from getting so much mud

[@OutsidetheLevees]

What speed do your run your trawl?

[@ashleysimmons6498]

There's an easier way to pull up your tail bag. Stop the boat, unhook your ropes from your boat, hook your ropes to an anchor that has another rope with a buoy on it. Drop it to the bottom then go back and just pull the tail bag only. A lot easier than pulling those doors up every time you check the net.

[@OutsidetheLevees]

Pulling the boards up is not that bad. But that would def be better if by yourself.

[@tdeaux]

Looks like a lot of fun on the mini scale. To de-mud drop the basket with whatever inside into the water and shake off the excess dirt, buddy.

[@OutsidetheLevees]

No shaking that stuff out bro it’s like glue
