Fun with Pot...Shrimp

Halfrack is crazy about shrimp so the FishTaxi likes to have a little fun with him.

The Pot shrimp the Fishtaxi gets out of PWS are more like prawns. Its a subsistence fishery where each boat is allowed 5 shrimp pots. Shrimp may only be taken April 15th thru Sept. 15th. We are no longer able to fish for tanner crab (marketed as snow crab). Which is sad, the FishTaxi misses it, and hopes ADFG would open it up again each spring. For now, we will settle for the pot shrimp. Its a lot of fun to put out shrimp pots and the next night check them for fresh shrimp for dinner. Then re-bait the pots for the next time. You don't even need a big boat. I've gone out with folks in an open skiff where we pulled them by hand. Well worth the effort.

Its funny because the best bait is canned cat food!
