Anybody know the details on how the shrimp boats operate off the Texas coast?
What I understand so far is that in the deep water they are only allowed to pull from sunset to sunrise, and in the morning they are anchored in water up to about 250ft max.
It seems that when they are pulling nets they are always dragging bottom, and you can see that the lines from the outriggers are going down at a sharp angle. In that case how much clearance do you need to give when crossing over the back of a boat dragging in 200ft....a couple hundred feet?
Also, what is the max depth they drag bottom? I have seen boats anchored out to 250 ft in the day, and free drifting in the daytime out to 300-350ft...do they pull nets out that deep at night, or is there a limit to how deep the shrimp live or how deep they can drag bottom effectively?
