A tangent but if I wanted to get some shrimp right off the boat, where would I go, towns, areas? What days/times is availability the most likely? I'm not from here, live in Zachary, and have zero experience with the coast, but would love to drive down some weekend day and pick up some jumbos. I'd like to cut out the middle man and get them as fresh as I can. TIA

I know quite a few guys who shrimp for a living. I call them, place my order and go get them when they tell me they ready.
I've been using one pretty exclusively over the past 4 years because my pick up point is 6 minutes from where I work, but the main reason is that he's a day tripper, when he's working his boat.
There are guys on Facebook who use that as a marketing outlet to sell their catch with good results.
As far as pay, if you run good equipment and hustle you can still make good money.
