Unwanted visitors
OK, so maybe they aren't the visitors and I am but I live here now and waking up at 4am to these pillagers of the seas in my front yard with their
generators overpowering the mornings stillness isn't appreciated.
Nice photo opp though:

Those would be great shots if not for what they're doing.
So sad to see this carnage.

Nice shots Russ. Dennis nailed it, the damage they do to the ocean is incalculable.
carpe diem!

What the boys said, beautiful photos but what an ugly business.

Digital cameras are a snap shooters dream!
I think the shrimpers are doing OK because these same boats have made at least 4 trips this season. They've spent about 4 days/nights working and are
back in another 4 days. This morning 2 of the 4 boats have left their anchorage out front. The one with the noisy generator is still at anchor. One
headed North and the other is heading into Concepcion Bay.

They anchor-up during the day and shrimp at night.

Shrimp doesn't just hop onto the plate from thin air when people want to eat...

Just awesome to see Nomads commenting on these activities, and to also know that said Nomads are not eating these shrimp (c-ckroach of the sea!) ...
oh wait...

Somebody is eating shrimp, otherwise those fishermen wouldn't be shrimping out there... Have you seen Forrest Gump?

Have shrimped in the past. It's not easy work. Lot's of variables, such as net structure, trawling speed, and much more, the difference between a
paycheck or a water-haul.

Aren't there new methods that don't rape the bottom of everything?

Yea, don't know the details, but they are supposed to reduce the bycatch, which is mostly juvenile fish, by about 30%. Excluder devices allow turtles
and larger fish to escape. They still have to drag the bottom, like a giant rake sweeping it clean. If you eat shrimp, you're supporting them.

I am sure you relate to Forrest Gump very well.

Just dealing with facts, not emotional name calling... just the facts. It might be hard for you, but I think you can do it... !

Frankly, although I have eaten them on occasion, I have never seen why they are so popular. It's always been take or leave it for me.

Shrimp are great, any way you fix 'em. Bubba knew what he was talking about. The shrimp from the Gulf of Mexico are especially good, so are the
oysters. Had a half gallon of 'em from down in Bubba's area a couple of weeks
ago. Sweet and salty!

No disrespect, seriously. But any food that cannot stand by itself, just gives me pause. Just wondering how many people would eat plain shrimp. Seems
to me that they are eaither eaten as an appetizer with c-cktail sauce and maybe lime, and when cooked, are almost always bathed in butter and garlic.
I just don't think they can stand alone. I could probably cook my athletic socks in enough butter and garlic to make them edible.
Just my opinion. But when you consider that you can have a great fish filet, or a steak without the butter and garlic, what can I say?
