I went last Thursday afternoon for 2 hours in the Mobile Delta with live shrimp and a cane pole.

November 2019 on the Outer Banks. We had to turnaround at 01:00 to avoid disaster.
got caught out in a nor'easter on a ship
70 knot winds and 38' seas will slow me down a bit.

Mobile Delta is hot right now. All you need is a cane pole and 2 dozen live shrimp.
For reference the Red is 16 1/2" long. I would have let it go, but it swallowed the hook.
The bass we all fat and happy.

Muck Boots are waterproof and warm. I use them duck hunting. Normally in the 30's.

I have been around the industry 40 plus years. It is common practice to freeze whole fish on commercial vessels, guts and all. Then process when thawed. Most of what you get in a seafood store is done that way. Same with a shrimp, they have guts too. By all means, thaw, eat, and enjoy. Unless your freezer is not any good.
I have been given frozen whole fish off of shrimp boats for years, still fat, still happy, no side effects.

Nice rig, I would need a fwd foot rest.
If you are going to eat these things try this:
As soon as you catch them cut off the tail including 1" of body+/-. Let it bleed out.
It honestly will look like someone peeing blood. Helps with the taste along with cutting all
red meat out.
While fishing with Paw Paw (deceased) we saw a periscope going against the current. It would surface, move and go under. After a while I said we gotta check this out. Well it was a home a made PVC catfish jug rig with a very large cat on it. After retrieving it, removing the hook, and a quick pic, I let that stud go free. Those that are that big are not good to eat anyway. He was 42" long.

Thank you Miker99, How true. I did see on the news this morning that Tyson Chicken is forcing employees to be vaccinated or hit the road. Also in New York if you want to go to an indoor leisure event
(? plays, movies, restaurants?) you must show proof of vaccination.

Has anyone noticed that the flu has kind of disappeared/sidelined since they released the Covid on us? I have a vaccinated friend right now that followed all protocol every day and is Covid positive now. Forced vaccinations will most likely be forthcoming. Go with your gut feelings and what you believe is morally right. Please pray for divine intervention, its time.
