Some people kill the heck out of shrimp, and others don't. Don't blame the guys who have it figured out. How many dorks set their pots in 600 feet of water with 600 feet of line and cry about someone stealing their pots.
There is no shortage of shrimp in PWS.

I think some of the popular areas are getting cleaned out. One area I have been hitting for three years used to yield five gallon of big fat shrimp now gives two gallons of just big enough to not fall thru the mesh on my pot shrimp. Have to move around and find new spots to find shrimp.2007 Kingfisher 2825 - Stor Fisk

And it's taken me 10 years to have a year like this. And I would much rather eat shrimp than caribou.sigpicSpending my kids' inheritance with them, one adventure at a time.

Spoiled One, my best set was 305 shrimp. They were decent size, and almost filled a 5 gallon bucket, so figure it would take 65 whole shrimp to make a gallon. Tail wise, around 30 average size is a pound.
tlingitwarrior, thanks man. Its taken a while to figure it out, or I just got lucky this year. I have shrimped this spot before and never came anywhere close to these numbers. I think areas very from year to year.
Kodiak kid, what does this thread have to do with bashing commercial guys? They got like 66k lbs this year? So that comes up to 1,980,000 shrimp give or take. So that equates to 440 boats taking 4500+ shrimp each. My guess is that the average boater takes less than 1000 a year. That would mean 1980 (more or less) boats to equal the commercial quota, so who do you think takes the most? I would like to see what the actual #'s are. Does ADF&G publish the results of the harvest records?
