re: If I wanted to get a job on a shrimping or fishing vessel

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.

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?
Living in Zachary, I'd try laffite, houma, or golden meadow. We mainly port in Venice, but we have delivered shrimp as far as Hattiesburg, Ms due to living in Picayune. They have pages on Facebook you can go look on people will post their catch, prices, and when and where they'll be. Bring an ice chest, ice, and money. Leave with the shrimp. It's so easy to cut out the middle man. We (the fishermen) get more money while the customers get fresher shrimp for cheaper.
Eta: email me at rlilkenny@gmail.com and I'll send you those pages on Facebook. I don't know if you can post them on here.
