- After an incredibly successful fishing trip for speckled trout near Grand Isle, Marsh Man Masson connected with Capt. Daryl Carpenter, who has been pulling a trawl every day, directly behind his camp on Louisiana's only inhabited barrier island.
Trawling for shrimp used to be a huge recreational activity in South Louisiana, but outdoorsmen and women have gotten away from it, probably because the tasty crustaceans are so readily available in supermarkets. But it's a lot of fun, and in years like this, it's ultra-productive.
Carpenter said his hauls have been large, and so have the shrimp, with an average size of about 60 to the pound. That's excellent for brown shrimp.
The season will run another few weeks before it's closed by the secretary of the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries. The closure is designed to protect juvenile white shrimp, which will begin making their big move into the lower estuaries sometime in the summer.
When that happens, Carpenter will hang up his net, but not for long. The white shrimp season will open in July or August.

This is the best shrimping video yet. He explains everything great and you ask the right questions going through the entire process!!! Ready to try around west central Florida!
Really miss your old school newspaper journalism . That being said, your videos kick ass, let’s us plan a trip ?
Who the hell doesn't love shrimp!!!!
Nice catch.
Just found your channel and absolutely love it. I’m in East Mississippi but looking forward to some South LA fishing.
Thank you for the video
My grandpa was a shrimp boat captain outta Terrebonne. Use to love get togethers and he’d bring home all kinds of goodies and huge shrimp. Good ole days
People don't know how good fresh caught shrimp tastes before having all those preservatives that help them stay frozen or whatever it's for.
There's no doubt about that
I'm probably the last recreational shrimper in my area of Louisiana. I remember growing up you could almost walk across the boats during the season. I haven't seen anyone other than myself doing it now. We are a dieing breed.
I like what I see and I eat what I like, nice video men !!
Good guy you are with, thanks for sharing vid👍
Daryl? Yeah, you're right about that.
This video was the first one of your videos that I ever watched.. I’ve been a hooked Sub since. Great stuff.
Thanks for watching and subscribing
Back in the late '50s and early '60s when I was in my early teens ... I was always with my Uncle Joe at Hebert's Landing on Calcasieu Lake with what seemed like a thousand other shrimpers on opening day. I do agree for some reason people just don't want to do all the work because it was work. But there is nothing like fresh shrimp.
Couldn't agree with you more.
So cool watching you dump them! Love this!
Lizard fish, sometimes called Cigar minowes, have a strange smell, unlike any other fish. Porpoises absolutely LOVE them. I used to save them in a bucket, and before I dumped them over, I would knock on the deck with a wooden shrimp rake. In a few days, porpoise learned the signal. After that, no matter how hard I tried, I could NOT get rid of them . They would fight over the gilled bycatch, and bite holes in my net.. They are super smart and unbelievably fast. I had a 25 foot wooden Lafitte skiff with a V-8 Oldsmobile, and they would go as fast as I could. According to physics, this is impossible, but they do it anyway.
Awesome video my brother. Good to see a fellow youtuber also showcasing the beauties of south Louisiana fisheries. We should film a video together for both channels one da! Keep em coming brother!!
Everybody loves shrimp!!!
Love your reasoning. I live shrimp to. Would love to come over and do this with you .
Marsh Man, that was freakin awesome! Tasty feast you got there brother... tight lines never stop!
Absolutely! I made barbecued shrimp yesterday. It was the best I've ever had.
Marsh Man Masson , I know that's right. I'm making gumbo Shep and sausage, mainly shrimp, but I bought shrimp at Walmart, totally not fresh. Lol. Thanks for the video ma man! Tight lines never stop.
When I was teenager I would go with Pawpaw. He would drink beer and I would do all the work and we had a wonderful time😂. Man I miss those days.
I love your videos! They are always interesting AND well made and make you want more.
Please keep on making them.
Sincerely
Rod
Wow. Great content in your videos. Really liking your channel. I don't know if we can recreational troll in Texas. I think that it's a great privilege to be able to troll for your own shrimp. I think I would find it much more satisfying knowing that I caught the shrimp I'm eating.
Thanks for posting. I really enjoy your videos. Good job👍
Looks like recreational trawling is legal in Texas during certain seasons and with some limitations. You're right: It is satisfying to catch your own food, whether it's fish, crabs or shrimp. Thanks for watching!
I did this same thing in Texas many years ago. I'd definately build a portable culling box that you could take in or out as required. What you don't need, you could just slide it out the end of the box and back into the water without sliming up the deck of your boat. Good video.
I've got a portable picking box that fits in the seat bracket. If you notice my fishing rods are still on the boat, I had just gotten back from a fishing trip and was in a hurry to get this done so I forgot to put it in the boat. The beautiful thing about the Blazer Bay is that it is a flow through hull with large scuppers so on those days that I do not have the picking box, everything I don't want washes out the back. And when I get back the pressure washer is waiting on me. We just do whatever it takes to fit it all in a day but I second the picking box.
Brother where at! I just wanna get a cast net and go out myself but don't know where lol
We always crossed our ropes to help turn the net.
Hell, I'm deathly allergic to shrimp, and love this!
Louisiana at its finest
SPECKLED TROUT!
aka…the Filet Mignon of the sea!
just came back from grand isle about two weeks ago, was catching 10 count on the on the outside of the island with a cast net.
Great video!
Awesome video
Thanks for watching!
I love the cut to horsefly
I sure miss it. FWC made it impossible to pull a hand rigged legally in Florida. One tip to help you in turning the boat is to make a bridle with a block (pulley) on your towline with the line on your cleats running through it. You'll be amazed at the difference it makes.
What do you mean? I can't recreationally trawl in FL?
@@yousuckathomerepair7301 That is correct
talk about big kid things to do, looks like alot of fun!!!
Good Life, Great Video.
That is awesome!
That's pretty awesome
I have been going down to close to Savannah and crabbing at some good friends place. Since several back surgeries I can't seem to throw a cast net anymore. Anyway I'm looking for a source for one of these nets. Can't seem to find one on line. And YES I'll be buying a trolling license. But the net and doors as they call em on the Ga coast are being hard to find in a small size
Damn nice. I need to do this.
I love crabbing and fishing, want to do shrimping
It's a lot of work, but definitely a lot of fun. Then, of course, you get to eat what you catch.
Marsh Man Masson It's a lot less work to shrimp with a cast net, but it yields less shrimp per catch so it takes longer to get the same amount. So it would take about 2 hours to get what you can get in 10 min trawling.
cool stuff i love shrimp too.
Small shrimp make are the best tasting
I spent an entire day using a casting net off the dock at grand isle. caught one of just about everything...
Can never understand the saying " it doesn't get better than this " Are you kidding me ?
Cudos to those who can find and experience shrimping 🍤
I wanna do this !! Tell me where to send the check...wanna book a trip
Oh yeah baby!!
Tickle chain. I like that. Lol
Where can I buy a set up like this?
Great video. What size and brand boat were you on in the video?
What depth were you fishing in ? Your trawl door ropes seem to have a very shallow angle.
i watched this while eating shrimp
How much does he charge to take people shrimping for the catch.
Awesome video man. I have been thinking about getting a 12’ net to pull behind my bay boat, but never knew anything about it. What kind of license do you have to have for that?
Residents need a $25 trawl license.
Marsh Man Masson thanks, I’m gonna have to check into that.
Wish we could do this in Florida
Only on the flats youcan
Great video! Where did he purchase the shrimping set up?
Daryl probably buys his stuff down in Grand Isle, but many area tackle stores sell all the supplies you would need. Check with Puglia's in Metairie or pugliasnola.com.
@@MarshManMasson thanks!
Best place to get this trawling net setup?
Bring me some to coco lol next week lol. I will have beer lol
Was that a pair of Delcambre Reebok’s I just did saw?
yuuuupp.
Draw a check on them with a magic marker... BOOM!
AIR SHRIMPERS
Tie a A Cod End Knot at the end of your net.
What brand net was that with the aluminum doors?
Wow, I really want to buy one of these nets. How much would a complete setup cost? I see some prices around $200 but others are $600+ so I'm not sure what I should be looking for. Also do you have to buy anything for the boat to elevate the net above the engine to pull it?
I"m not sure on price. Like all things, I'm sure you get what you pay for. I bought a 12-foot trawl second hand years ago, and paid $75. There is no device needed to elevate the net. Just tie it to the rear cleats.
Thank you for the reply again. That's cheap for what you're getting because when I buy live shrimp it can cost around $60 for a morning of fishing so I'd really be saving money getting a net like that and catching bait.
Does he still offer this?
Down here missippippi 12ft sjvahn trawl 24×12 Jones doors 11 hrs 1780 lbs 40/50 open day ohhha we own I'm in the speed boat boy
Hello Sir! Awesome video! Can you tell me how can I buy that type of net and gear! Like how to order it? Lovely catch! Would appreciate your help...best rgds from Panama!!!
Capt. Daryl Carpenter can tell you exactly what he uses. I'd contact him. You can find him easily through a Google search. Best of luck!
All of my nets come from Chine's Net Shop in Golden Meadow. There are a lot of things to make a net pull right. The majority of Chines nets pull great out of the box.
Bro I’m sure they stopped cuz that oil rig spill that happened in 2010
I have a 12’ net cause I usually go by myself and bring my labs. I have a lazy line though which keeps ya from bringing in everything
Do you tie the lazy line at the end of the net?
@@bradleyhill6495 it loops around the bag and ties to one of the doors. That way you can tie off the doors to the boat grab the lazy line and pull the bag up
My father n grandfather wer shrimpers in galveston tx in the 60’s 70’s One 30 minute net drag and would get 20lbs. Of “gulf whiteys” and “brownies”! These days......NOTHING BECAUSE OF CONTAMINATED BAYS AND WATERWAYS. Its sad
How do I contact captain carpenter?
Get you some
I'm just waiting for the forrest gump jokes to hit. That was a nice haul though. Personally I would have put that stingray on a gas grill and served it up. Eat it and it can't interfere in the future.
What’s the captain’s info? I would like to hire him for this, it looks fun!!!
You can find him easily through Google. His name is Daryl Carpenter.

You could throw the bycatch back quickly???
we stopped doing it because it cost to much with licences and fees... by the time you pay for all the paperwork, it's cheaper just to buy it from the dock....
I grew up shrimping. A commercial licence is 60usd a recreational one is 15usd and you can catch 50lbs a day per person. I sold my commercial shrimp boat a few years ago. I couldn't get anyone to go for free shrimp but they wanted to buy the shrimp. I could not run the boat by myself. So i now have a old 1970ish boat with a Yamaha 90. I fill my freezer and give a lot away.its like therapy for me
Just wondering how much damage is being done to the grass beds. The shrimps hideout and home! Whole sections of grass being torn up looks like!
What grass? Educate yourself before you make comments, we are 100 yards from the Gulf on a sand flat that runs 25 to 35 PPT salt, there is no grass growing there. Some people's children????
is it true that your warm water shrimp are vegetarian and cant be caught in a trap ?? Up here in BC and Alaska they want meet in traps ???
When I was a kid, we used to bait them with canned dog food, and catch them with cast nets. Of course, I'm not sure how much actual meat is in canned dog food.
pretty awesome sauce
Sign me up!
Need to make big s turns .that keeps the wheel wash out ya net .makes ya catch better ..
What happen to the stingray?
We sent him on his merry way.
Marsh Man Just Sub From Biloxi MS Tight Lines Got 19ft Kenner Bay Boat!
You can do a lot out of that. I've got an 18-foot G3
I have 2 65' nets
You just found a new fishing spot because you can’t tell me with all of those shrimp the trout aren’t in there.
2 years ago we caught the heck out of fish there but last year the shrimp were thick as fleas but no fish. www.reelscreamers.com
Hey is Darryl married?lol
2018 was a terrible season
This video right here being born a shrimper... This is humiliating
Your comment is humiliating.
You got gloves on
How much for a trip out? Do you have contact info?
I'm not a fishing/shrimping guide, but Daryl Carpenter is. Search him on Google. He's easy to find.
Marsh Man Masson cool thank you
I don't have these trips listed on the web site but you can contact me through www.reelscreamers.com if you are interested.
31/40 maybe kinda small but good still
A great video literally not showing the catch.
HORSEFLY!
stop yelling
wow Wish i could have seen the Shrips instead of you face
What's the link or phone number to the trawling charter MMM?
www.reelscreamers.com
Lets see... your own fresh caught shrimp or store bought Vietnamese raised in cesspools. hummmm!?
Man, I couldn't agree with you more.
