8" solid lead line heavy fast sinking .

[@RollingCajunOutdoors]

No need for a heavy net when shrimping in 3-4 feet of water. It's no deeper than 4 foot in the middle of that river. Everyone uses 3/4 of a lb per foot nets. The most popular around here is Old Salt.

[@steventodd5678]

@@RollingCajunOutdoors I used to throw a net when the shrimp MOVED not just baiting them . In a good spot when the tide is running in 6-10 of water in the bayou 3-4kt current I have caught 10lb+ per throw . You got to know where and when and why they are moving the red legs will tell you . And I know you know what butterflying is .

[@RollingCajunOutdoors]

@@steventodd5678 I don't own a boat and anyone I know who does never takes me they have their favorites already so I'm a ways away from getting to that level but maybe one day.

[@steventodd5678]

@@RollingCajunOutdoors Well you don't need a boat to hunt these big snakes down here in SE Fl , my buddy here has a 13' already . So if you want some fine fresh water fishing for exotics or you want to show everyone back home what an outdoorsman you are put one of those big snake skins on the wall over 10 foot .

[@jkade8857]

We're y'all baiting for the shrimp or just casting?

[@jkade8857]

Never mind.. I think I heard you say that you were waiting for them to gather on the bait. What you using

[@RollingCajunOutdoors]

Yes I always bait up I use range cubes from the feed store they use them to feed calfs they work great for shrimp

[@jkade8857]

Thanks. I tried some pogie mil b4 but didn't have much luck. Had better luck with no bait... but it just depends if they're there or not. Lol

[@RollingCajunOutdoors]

Yeah they gotta be there for anything to work but pogie is too expensive and it doesn't work better than range cubes about the same. 50 lb bag of them at any feed store for about $15 I have some still from last year

[@mattfox2867]

What bait are yall using?

[@RollingCajunOutdoors]

I use Range Cubes they are fed to calves you can get them at any feed store really cheap

[@mattfox2867]

@@RollingCajunOutdoors Awesome. Thanks

[@RollingCajunOutdoors]

It's way cheaper than pogie and works better in my opinion. 50 lb bag for about $10

[@steventodd5678]

Get a flat bottom with heavy mushroom anchors to hold the boat in position ease into the mud if you want them back . If you just drop a 40lb mushroom anchor hard and fill the boat with shrimp you have to leave the anchor or sink the boat .

[@RollingCajunOutdoors]

Filling a boat with shrimp would be illegal. You are allowed 100 lbs of shrimp per person per day. I don't do illegal things those rules are in place for a reason.

[@steventodd5678]

@@RollingCajunOutdoors I was cast netting before that law and I am part of the reason for it . You see we caught lots of cast net shrimp so many that the big boys got jealous and made those limits .

[@RollingCajunOutdoors]

@@steventodd5678 they didn't get jealous they just got tired of people being greedy as hell and taking way more than they need. The limits are there to preserve our fisheries and I support them. I've never taken more than I need. Taking a boat load of shrimp is extremely greedy.

keep'em coming... lots of fun watching and a ton of good shrimp. Maybe we can catch some flounder together in a couple months

[@RollingCajunOutdoors]

I'll be on the founder as soon as they start moving

[@arrowhead_leejones5037]

@@RollingCajunOutdoors I have been fishing that area for flounder for the past 15 or so years, a ton of good people down there..

[@RollingCajunOutdoors]

Definitely! I have meet a lot of good ones and a couple bad ones that think they own the place. Far in-between though.

[@bernie545]

Great video bro. Lots of good eating!

[@RollingCajunOutdoors]

It was fun going to be doing it again really soon. It's only going to get better as it starts cooling off in one month.

[@seanmelancon1588]

Mind messaging me some decent spots to do this at. To damn hot sometimes during the day lol

[@RollingCajunOutdoors]

I don't share spots anymore because I do a lot of fishing on the land and it's already too crowded at most of the spots I go too. Last thing I want is to go tell everyone where every spot is so that every time I go I never can get a spot anymore. Until I get a boat that I can go find the fish I won't share my spots.

[@seanmelancon1588]

@@RollingCajunOutdoors Bummer. Do you know if between hog island and Holly Beach is a good spot?

[@RollingCajunOutdoors]

@@seanmelancon1588 There are all kinds of spots between there that is good but you need to read all the regulations because most of those spots are in the reserves

[@daitran8237]

They shut that place down.

[@RollingCajunOutdoors]

What do you mean they shut it down? They always put signs up saying no parking but people do it anyways because we don't care we are never going to stop catching food.

[@GrievenceCapitolist]

Holding the 🦐 basket with a "rock fish" friggin genius . Givum hell brotha !

[@RollingCajunOutdoors]

haha I gotta put rocks in it because sometimes that tide is rolling hard through there and it will run off with your basket real fast. My buddy lost a bunch of shrimp the other day because he put it too far into the water without any weight and it dumped his basket over and he barely caught it in time. I learned that years ago if you want it in the water you better weigh it down hahaha

[@GrievenceCapitolist]

@@RollingCajunOutdoors we call the weight a "rockfish" . It's the first ingredient to have a succesful shrimp feast . Love the content ! Thanks

[@RollingCajunOutdoors]

@@GrievenceCapitolist hahaha that's good shit

[@michaeldoucetsr.8704]

Are yall in Hackberry, looks like it. Im in Orange, Tx.

[@thomastran2432]

Bro. If your not taking those small fish. Why don’t you throw back instead of leaving it on land to die? Lol

[@RollingCajunOutdoors]

Because shrimp only come through at certain times and when they come through you throw your ass off and there is no time to throw all that back. If you spend all your time throwing small fish back you never catch shrimp.

[@cristinecornell9884]

The lazy cast netters do the same thing here. It reeks to high heaven of dead fish. It takes a few seconds to throw the by catch back.

[@RollingCajunOutdoors]

@@cristinecornell9884 no it doesn't take a few seconds to throw them back when you catching hundreds per cast it has nothing to do with being lazy when the shrimp are running we're there to catch shrimp not spending entire time throwing bait back it's not that hard to grasp

[@cristinecornell9884]

Horse crap. I cast net myself and manage to get the fish back in the water. There weren’t hundreds of shrimp being caught per cast. It’s a cast net, not a shrimp boat. Use a champagne basket and toss the first back. It’s really simple and fast.

[@RollingCajunOutdoors]

We didn't have baskets at that time and I wasn't going to spend the entire night picking up bait fish and throwing them back I'm sorry if you don't like it I'm just not going to do it.

This is awesome more shrimp in the next coming months I hope!!! Tight lines!!

I hope so too. I'm very glad that storm is missing us because it was going to mess up the shrimping for a minute. Tight lines thanks for watching!

[@slentgokugoku434]

Address bro?

[@RollingCajunOutdoors]

It's in hackberry

[@seanmelancon1588]

Didn't know you could cast net after dark.

[@RollingCajunOutdoors]

You can cast net anytime of the day there are no rules on that. The only rules are the amount you can keep per day depending on the location.
