Very cool experience, bagging shrimp. Not a big trawler, but big enough to have an interesting experience! Captain Spike and mate Chase were very good! They explained the net characteristics, what we might catch and identified what we did catch. Net take was bout 7 lbs of shrimp, split amongst the guests. We learned how to pop the head off the shrimp - a hand intensive operation. That night, we broiled our fresh take with garlic, butter and herbs. Very good and a trip well worth the take!

Different, A 1 hour ride in a circle dragging a hot you can't see. Stayed between the islands in calm water. We were told they were going to give the people thT paid to shrimp what ever they caught. But in the end they gave each group only 1 to 2 pounds. That wS only 8 small bags in total. They kept about 15 pounds for themselves. Kind of disappointing Cost 130.oo dollars for my group of 3 adults And we helped clean about 40 pounds of shrimp..

Great sunny day on the water catching shrimp but they should divide catch by the number of indiv 🎟 purchased not by the # of parties. Overall enjoyable experience,highly recommend!!
