Opening Day Trawling

I know the wind was terrible, but did anyone venture out to do some trawling on opening day?

Wind was killer, steady blowing 20-25. Really limited where we could pull.
Caught about #50 of nice shrimp and 2 dozen Big Male crabs before deciding to call it an early day and boiling the crabs.
Today looks much better as far as the wind goes.

Dock price?
That’s high as giraffe nuts, I would have guessed $3.50-4.00.

Yeah that’s high unless you only bought a small amount. But in bulk you usually get a good price

Just saw someone on fb in grand isle offering 16-20’s for $3.50.

Yeah dock. They had one boat that would have sold them to me for $3.50 but he didn’t have a scale. I spoke to a few other guys but it was like they were scared to sell to me, so I just went to Chauvins. Picked up 15 lbs for $69

I got some 16-21's for $3.50.

South of Dularge in Lake Mechant.
25 ft trawl. 3/4 of our catch was 21-25 to 26-30.
Bushel of big #1 male crabs.
It was worth the arse whooping the wind put on us.
Have to take a break today. Lol

I’m venturing out this weekend to give it a shot. This will be the first time to do it without an experienced person on bored. Gonna be exciting if we can actually catch a few.
Question on pulling the trawl, the boat we are going in does not have tie off points in the middle of the boat. That’s what the other boats I’ve went in had. Ive also tied to the very front before as well and just bridled the ropes so that they don’t go under the boat while turning. Can you pull from the very back effectively?? I figured tying the ropes to the front was for better steering and allowing the net to open better.
