Louisiana is by far the best state to crab shrimp and fish! When I decided to relocate to the Gulf I did so in Mississippi and I regretted every day I should have picked Louisiana. I lived there and went to school there as a child when my dad was in construction. Miss it everyday!
Try a white mesh cast net, it seems to scare the shrimp less. If you ever go shrimping with just a net, the white nets will glide right under the shrimp to allow you to catch them. The blue net drives them out of the water and it looks like you are trying to catch butterflies.
Love your channel bud! I have been out to Marsh Island many times! I grew up outside of Jeanerette and my parents have their houseboat along one of the canals at Cypremort Point! From there we only have to run less than 3 miles in the boat to get by the game warden camp. Hope to see you out there sometime!
I've been watching your videos for a few hours now .... yep decided i need to move to Louisiana - its the perfect there !! catfish, crab, shrimp, gators -- ya freezer will never be empty -- yee yee !
Man.... i grew up in freeport texas, in the summers shrimping, red and specs, crabs n oysters! I live in Chattanooga now and no offense but it SUX! I miss home! I love it when i see people catchin sum shrimps maaaannn! Hell yeah good luck bro!!! Get’m!
Where do you buy your fish meal? Is it plain fish meal or is it fish bone meal or other meal type? How much per pound does it cost? How much flour do you add to a pound of fish meal? Great video. Thanks for sharing and answering my comment!
I buy my fish meal at T&S milling in new Iberia. I use one pound of flour to 4 pounds of fish meal. It is very cheap, it’s about $2-3 per pound at the place I get it at.
@@LouisianaOutdoorsmen That's one of the reasons we go out of rollover also. I have a 14' flat with a 15 mercury. I'm gonna try the trick with the little jerks on the cast net in a couple weeks when I get back in from work.
Thanks for taking me with you fishing and crabbing and shrimping and I do think that black drum was the same one he kept going over to the same spot lol
Great video! Wish we could catch shrimp from shore here in Maryland. You all ever use trotlines to catch crabs? Back pre 90s the crabbing here was amazing using them. Would take 1- 1000' line baited about every 2'. Would catch anywhere from .5 to a full bushel of big crabs per run of the line. If it required measuring we threw it back. Average size crab that we would keep was 7.5" with plenty of 8" and 9" crabs in the mix. Biggest one that I ever measured was 10.75".
Mike Davitt we had to get to this island by boat for the shrimp, and we catch our crabs in drop nets or traps never used a trotline except for catching catfish
Reed Stephens oh ok, I get it from T&S milling in new Iberia but I’m sure Morgan city has a feed store that has some, especially with all the fishermen around.
@louisiana outdoorsman. I’m located in New Orleans East. What are some good shrimping and crabbing spots you know of that’s not too far. Thanks in advance
I am still practicing throwing that net out correctly. I might get the smallest net. A bit heavy 😢 Definitely, will be jigging next time and bring some burley, too 😁 Thank you 😎
I'm a new subscriber, I'm gonna give you a try and see how informative you are. Don't let us down please love the shrimping video. Thank you Bill Alloway
Launch out of Cypremort Point State Park and head Southwest for about 10-15 minutes. If you look on google maps go to Cypremort point and you will see Marsh Island in green. Once you get on the refuge, they have 3-4 different weirs to go on.
Haven’t lived in Louisiana for about 6 years, I’m having withdrawals. Ain’t nothing like it up here in Minnesota. Lotta people giving you hate for how you’re throwing that cast net, we have all been there.
I think I spotted that place on Google maps--man I used to live in Morgan City, wish I would have gone there then--and most of those so called experts with the cast nets were eating tv dinners that night, not shrimp!
Bruce Lee yeah it would, I was working the whole weir back and forth so much I just got tired of lugging the basket around especially after it had over 10lbs of shrimp lol
Makes sense. I've not tried this yet so you're teaching me. Any hints on the best place to find large numbers of shrimp? I'm in SW Florida so it's similar to LA I'd bet. Any tips are very much appreciated!
Richard Slingwine best places around are normally during the summer either in the marshes or near anytime of weir or water control type structure. Shrimp seem to like moving water.
Assuming you meant locate? We fish near a weir with good water flow. Make a couple cast with the cast net and if they are there they are there, if not then we move to more running water until we find them.
They were undersized for the laws in Louisiana. The 16-20" black drum are good to eat, but anything bigger than that is not pleasing to eat in my opinion.
Teo Cardenas mostly late spring through the end of the summer when the water is warm. The shrimp go out to deeper water when the temperature gets too cold
Never knew they had a limit on shrimp with a cast net, 25lbs that's a lot of shrimp for a net. Born and raised in Louisiana , fished the swamps and Marsh all my life .
Hey Brother. I'm from South Louisiana also, do you ever go towards Sabine National Refuge? Laccassine NWR? Rockefeller NWR? I know alot of places you can catch shrimp, whole net full! Only keeping 16-20 counts and the CRABS! 3 at a time on each line with chicken necks and melt. It's insane trying to keep up with the crabs. But ALSO MONSTER REDFISH AND GAR FISH SO BIG IT'LL SCARE THE HELL OUT OF YOU! AT THE SAME SPOT!
During the summer, I go to Rockefeller NWR and Rollover to crab and catch shrimp. I have a smaller boat so I have to keep it to small water when I go out.
Bro how did you get to Marsh Island?? Where is this Marsh Island? This is the first I have heard about it. I need a boat to get to it?? Thanks Subscribed
DonzoShadowWolf yes you need a boat. You launch out of cypremort point and head southeast for about 10-15 mins until you get to marsh island. They have a few different weirs to choose from.
well darn there goes my chance of cast netting for beautiful shrimp and big crabs. I live around Baton Rouge. Know any good places to cast net for shrimp and catch crabs around that area? Any help would be great even if I have to travel. Thanks bud
Louisiana is by far the best state to crab shrimp and fish! When I decided to relocate to the Gulf I did so in Mississippi and I regretted every day I should have picked Louisiana. I lived there and went to school there as a child when my dad was in construction. Miss it everyday!
It’s definitely one of the best outdoors places in the country. It’s not called sportsman’s paradise for nothing!!!
If you cast right you won’t get as tired and catch more shrimp
Try a white mesh cast net, it seems to scare the shrimp less. If you ever go shrimping with just a net, the white nets will glide right under the shrimp to allow you to catch them. The blue net drives them out of the water and it looks like you are trying to catch butterflies.
You need to come back to this place and see if it's still a good spot. keep making great videos.
It’s a hit cold right now to crab and shrimp but I’m sure we will be back this spring/summer for sure
Great vid, loved it. Some guys have all the fun.

Outdoor Adventures with Shawn never a time in my life my freezer was empty
Never , i got so much crab and shrimp I almost get tired of it.Matter fact I want some catfish! Have to put out the hoop nets!
Nice vid bro!!!! Now lets see that cajun catch n cook!?!?
crawdaddy 24/7 I will for sure!
Thanks, It was fun watching!

press play it’s so much fun! Summer is about to kick off so hopefully will get on a few soon
Around what time does the shrimp run in freeport I'm in Houston and would love to give it a try? Any recommended spots?
Angel Luna not sure where Freeport is but normally in the fall the shrimp start running good down here
I love cast net. You are very lucky this fishing spot is full of crabs and shrimps
Diego Viviani the tide has to be just right in this spot or there will be nothing. I’ve fished here before and didn’t catch a single crab or shrimp.
it is lucky day
Looks like a banner day you and your brother will never forget...
Still remember it like it was yesterday to be honest!
3:58 I could not help but laugh. Camera angle and commentary. I'm 50 years old and still find it funny.
Pops Old Boats earlier in my TH-cam career I had a bad habit with that angle 🤦🏻♂️
When you making bait balls for shrimp, try making patties inside! The balls roll away with the tide, when the patties stay flat on bottom.
Great video. I enjoyed it.
The Crow appreciate the support!!
- haven't watched the whole video yet. Hopefully you do catch && cook?! ‼️😍😘🤗💕😬💯💯

New to the area. Curious what canal n Marsh Island you use to get to this wier?
You just follow the main canal until you see this weir on the left about a mile into marsh island
What brand/where did you purchase the crab drop nets? Enjoyed the video!
I purchased them from a local store called touchards in delcambre, la
Thanks for the information. I was able to locate on their website. Do you have the small (21” diameter) or large (28” diameter)?
@@jq1412 large 28”, gotta have room for all them crabs when they running heavy!
Well said! Thanks again
Duck tape works well at the bottom of the net. And Blue crab fule works well with chicken. nice catch.
Awesome video
Is this south marsh island in vermilion bay? If so where?
Yes this is and it’s at the weir all the way in the back
We usually go out of rollover but looking to try a different area. Thanks for the info..
When I take my boat, we go to rollover due to my boat being way smaller.
@@LouisianaOutdoorsmen That's one of the reasons we go out of rollover also. I have a 14' flat with a 15 mercury. I'm gonna try the trick with the little jerks on the cast net in a couple weeks when I get back in from work.
Wesley Bourque bait with the fish meal and jerk the net. It allows those weights to filter all the shrimp off the bottom and into the net.
Thanks for taking me with you fishing and crabbing and shrimping and I do think that black drum was the same one he kept going over to the same spot lol
Glenn Crawford your quite welcome! Those little black drum like to school in that spot from time to time
Aww man that is so Cool!!! I'm in Fernley, Nevada... 🍤 shrimp sounds delectable!👍 Thank You! Suze ...
Suzanne Loible they are so good! Going to have plenty more shrimp and crab videos coming this summer!
Suzanne Loible lol, I drove through Fernley a couple weeks ago... not catching any fresh shrimp or crabs there. lol
Good video man !
Thanks for the support!
Nice vid man keep it up
Buck creek appreciate the support!
That’s real nice catching there bro!!! Can’t wait to get back home and head out that way and try it out.
The water is just starting to get right again since the storm!

Mike Davitt we had to get to this island by boat for the shrimp, and we catch our crabs in drop nets or traps never used a trotline except for catching catfish
Now we have to bait the line with razor clams just to draw the crabs. Too many people moving in the watershed.
Dan Streazy I use chicken or turkey necks for the crabs here
Enjoyed video sir
yomomajumprcables appreciate it, glad you enjoyed!
where do you purchase the fish meal for bait?
Reed Stephens I get mine at a local feed store in my city
kool thanks i am in morgan city, good to see great videos close to home
Reed Stephens oh ok, I get it from T&S milling in new Iberia but I’m sure Morgan city has a feed store that has some, especially with all the fishermen around.
What size net are you using
7 foot
Louisiana man hell yeah your the real deal.

Very cool. Just subbed.

@louisiana outdoorsman. I’m located in New Orleans East. What are some good shrimping and crabbing spots you know of that’s not too far. Thanks in advance
chris smith closest to you would be lake Pontchartrain or dulac or dularge in the marsh
I am still practicing throwing that net out correctly.
I might get the smallest net. A bit heavy 😢
Definitely, will be jigging next time and bring some burley, too 😁
Thank you 😎
I need to take that trip to Louisiana just to go crabbing!!!!!!
Varrick Nelson it’s the best during the summer for sure
what tme of the year yall catch those shrimp?
Yum shrimp

Dats the way you do it.... How you get to that marsh island?
Launch out of Cypremort Point State Park and head Southwest for about 10-15 minutes. If you look on google maps go to Cypremort point and you will see Marsh Island in green. Once you get on the refuge, they have 3-4 different weirs to go on.
I cast nets for years and still mess up sometime 😊
It's true 🦐
Hey bubba try using a chain bottom net . 10 times better then lead. Nice vid
David Turner I’ve never seen chain bottom before, where you find those at?
Just check online Asians use them alot. Old timers here gave me the idea just cut off your lead and stich on some chain. Just weigh it first.
Nice content 😁👍
ARIYA Fishing TV thank you, greatly appreciate it
Do you have to worry about the cast net breaking up the fish meal or picking it up completely?
Keith Burgos sometimes but normally I pick something as a marker to know where I’m casting to make sure I don’t cast over it
Haven’t lived in Louisiana for about 6 years, I’m having withdrawals. Ain’t nothing like it up here in Minnesota. Lotta people giving you hate for how you’re throwing that cast net, we have all been there.
mnbackwoods appreciate the support, it’s TH-cam I didn’t expect the best of comments about the few bad cast I had.
You made a nice video
Gina Brown thank you very much, I appreciate it!
I think I spotted that place on Google maps--man I used to live in Morgan City, wish I would have gone there then--and most of those so called
experts with the cast nets were eating tv dinners that night, not shrimp!
brewster102 yea it’s pretty easy to find it on google maps lol and then shrimp were good too
Every time he says 'Shrimp' do a shot.
RIP.
Ttyl🤢🤮
Them there r some nice size shimp
Mike Faulkner they indeed were, haven’t got back on them like that since
Do you know of any places to cast net off season that doesn't require a boat?
Sean Melancon not off hand, most places where shrimp are caught are off weird or flood control gates
Be more efficient if you try having the shrimp basket closer to you when you cast yea?
Bruce Lee yeah it would, I was working the whole weir back and forth so much I just got tired of lugging the basket around especially after it had over 10lbs of shrimp lol
Louisiana Outdoorsmen haha 😂 working for it !
Could just put it in the middle of where you're working and have the short distance from either direction.
Yummy shrimp
Where was the pier that you were beside when you caught the drum?
floydaltonmiller those were some random docks we fish that are for several camps out at cypremort point
If you flatten out your bait balls the current will not roll them away and they will stay longer......Just Saying
Dave Beard thanks for the tip, I believe another guy told me that a few weeks back. I will definitely do it next time.
Question: would it help to form the ball around a smallish rock? Give the ball some solid structure?
Richard Slingwine I don’t like to put it near structure due to being nervous my net will be getting caught on it.
Makes sense. I've not tried this yet so you're teaching me. Any hints on the best place to find large numbers of shrimp? I'm in SW Florida so it's similar to LA I'd bet. Any tips are very much appreciated!
Richard Slingwine best places around are normally during the summer either in the marshes or near anytime of weir or water control type structure. Shrimp seem to like moving water.
Where you bought your net and what brand is ?
Hugop Nuñezz it’s a Fitec super spreader and I bought it at Walmart.
Is it a certain time of the year when you try to target the shrimp? How deep is the water? I have always wanted to try this!
Usually in the summer and fall months is the best. The water is normally 5-8' deep.
@@LouisianaOutdoorsmen thanks that is awesome! Not a lot of people around Texas seem to do this that I know of.
@@TechnoBabbles it’s all about timing and if they have moved inshore
Awesome video! Keep practicing with that cast net you will get it down soon enough. It took me a while to get down.
Justin Gordon appreciate it, I definitely will get my practice in this spring and summer
Nice Video
Tyrell Lovitt appreciate it!
I haven’t had fried gulf brownies “ shrimp” in years!!
How was the tides moving that day?
Clovis112785 strong out going
Are you going to be crabbing anytime soon at Marsh Island?
Dylan Melancon not that I know of, this wind and quarantine situation is making it difficult right now
Try some bait balls
for shrimp
I had threw some out, I make my own.
When’s the perfect time? I always catch mullet instead
likoniq normally summer/fall is the best time
Louisiana Outdoorsmen okay thank you, not many people respond back after a year to 3 years of their videos being up, thank you so much!
likoniq no problem, best time is in the fall though around late August and September. That’s when I personally done my best.
Best Crab bait I've used is bacon they love it I also caught shrimp in my crab trap with the bacon.
i love your technic to throwing the cast net
hı from turkey
Cemcim BURGER thanks, easiest way I learned as a beginner from an older gentleman
I love yalls videos, but at the same time yall make me homesick and hungry 😖😭
As St sportsman’s paradise is the best! Just not at this point in time
How do you lovate the shrimp?
Assuming you meant locate? We fish near a weir with good water flow. Make a couple cast with the cast net and if they are there they are there, if not then we move to more running water until we find them.
Louisiana Outdoorsmen Locate, my bad 😂
Great video!
What cast net are you using and size? Where to purchase? Thanks!
Using a 7' 3/8 ounce weight. you can buy it at any walmart or sporting goods store.
I'm using the cast iron number 8 you can purchase them at Ooga Booga Bait and Tackle
Are the black drum too small or undesirable?
They were undersized for the laws in Louisiana. The 16-20" black drum are good to eat, but anything bigger than that is not pleasing to eat in my opinion.
Louisiana Outdoorsmen gotcha! I was looking at those fish like, those are a good size.
@@rennyray11 They were all around 14-15"
What is the best time for shrimp ?
Teo Cardenas mostly late spring through the end of the summer when the water is warm. The shrimp go out to deeper water when the temperature gets too cold
Dinner time!
Is your cast net homemade or store bought. Thanks?
Ronald Ventura store bought from Walmart. Is a 7’ cast net.
@@LouisianaOutdoorsmen
Ok Thanks.Is it assemble finished like that?
Ronald Ventura yes comes completely assembled in the box. Just take it out and it’s ready to throw
Never knew they had a limit on shrimp with a cast net, 25lbs that's a lot of shrimp for a net. Born and raised in Louisiana , fished the swamps and Marsh all my life .
Yea it’s because we were on a refuge. They have strict rules there.
Oh yeah, what did you use for bait?
Gary Wood for the shrimp it’s fish meal and flour to make a clay like mixture
Where were you shrimping. What Town ? ? ?
Damion Keeling it was out of cypremort point state park, which is st mary parish. Not exactly sure what city it’s considered.
How do limit out on shrimp?
Richard Stall we can only catch 25lbs on a public refuge like this one. That’s the limit, but all done with a cast net
What is the composition of your shrimp bait?
Ronald Ventura it’s grounded up dried fish with a pound of flour and add water as needed until it turns to a clay
@@LouisianaOutdoorsmen Ok Thanks again Sir
Hi. Friend
Where is the location? It is far from Lake Charles

No it’s 3/8”
Nice
you got some good beau.
Where is this place?
Cuong Truong marsh island refuge
they look to be a nice 4 finger shrimp id say a 40/50 count
40-50's? THAT'S POPCORN SHRIMP! He's got 10-12's there, at LEAST!
A game warden told me once 25lbs of shrimp is the 5th ring on a laundry basket and 10lbs is the 2nd one
William Trailer yea but I had a scale so I’d rather just make extra sure because I know they like to bust people left and right out there.
IM FROM LOUISIANA TOOOOOOOO
Basensconv right on! 👍🏻
Has anybody mentioned your cast is not right?
R Yeckley You’re right but he was catching shrimp so who gives a damn
I went shrimping in Louisiana once I caught the crabs man do they itch I like to never got rid of them
there was 2 of you fishing why only 25lbs and not 50lbs?
Jeff Leong its 25lbs per boat out there and not per person unfortunately.
I cringed every time you throw it wrong
Exactly he’s not throwing it right
Well why don't one of you start your own channel and do a video on how to properly throw a cast net? I very much enjoyed watching him fish!
Hatcher Tiger ? There is many many videos on how to throw a cast net.....
Who cares,it works for him.
What a great video though... nobody is perfect all th time...
How far is this form baker la

Wat is fish meal
It’s basically dried up smaller fish like herring, shad, and other small bait fish ground up finely and made into a powder like substance
