This is a touchy subject for some, and I'm not trying to offend anybody.
My Father in Law's Dad (wife's paternal grandfather) was a net builder and commercial rod and reel fisherman in Port Aransas back in the 40's-early 70's. As such, my Father in Law always had a try net/individual shrimp trawl net around the house. He took me once or twice before he passed back in '99, so I don't know much about patterning when and where to shrimp, but I did learn enough to be able to at least run the net.
I've had his old net in my garage for the past 15 years or so and instead of stepping over the doors all the time, I am thinking about hauling it down to our place at SLP and trying to pull the darn thing. I know I can't pull it in the pass itself, but when would be a good time to pull it out in the Gulf? I don't want to venture more than 4 or 5 miles out. I don't think I want to pull it in West Bay itself either, too many unkowns for me to try that, at least yet.
If you've done it before or have knowledge about when or where, I appreciate all that you're willing to share.
