What is it about shrimping that captures so much of the passion and energy of the Puget Sound outdoor enthusiast?
Is it that these are the best-tasting critters in our local waters? Or is it the “closet deadliest catch persona” we all have buried deep within us somewhere?
Whatever it is, it is clear, that we love our spot shrimp and the process of catching them. The much anticipated 2020 Puget Sound Spot Shrimp Season has been announced, let’s get to the details!
On April 27th, WDFW and the Governor of Washington State announced the opening of several fishing and hunting opportunities starting May 5th, 2020. And for most of us who’ve been following along here…It’s about time! What does that mean for you? Where will you be fishing on May 5th? We will share our thoughts below.
Shrimping in the Strait of Juan de Fuca out of Sequim Bay in June 2019 produced mixed results and some good lessons on bait and locations.
We’ve been out shrimping twice on Hood Canal so far in May of 2019 and would like to share some insight about those experiences that can help you plan your shrimping trip as well.
Just the trip through the San Juan Islands by boat on the way to Jones Island Marine State Park fills your cup for adventure and serene beauty.
The islands have always held a magical quality to me, in that I get really excited just being there. We camped on Jones Island for three nights and in this blog post, hope to cover enough to convince you that this is a must do camping experience, and how to do it successfully.
The 2019 Spot Shrimp season in Marine Area 11 was not expected to be as good as 2018, but we found great success near Vashon Island for hauling in these tasty critters.
WDFW just announced via a press release the 2019 Puget Sound Shrimp seasons. I’ve been anxiously awaiting this release of the shrimping seasons this year after enjoying all the Spot Shrimp in my freezer from this past year. There are some interesting aspects to these announced seasons worth thinking about.
