Thanks for the post Tony. You have inspired me to consider shrimping in the Tampa area. I've been researching it some and found a pretty interesting gadget to help get the shrimp off the sea grasses. It's called the ozella shrimper
http://www.ozelloshrimper.com. I'll also see if I can scoop them with a net as they float by in the tidal flow. I remember seeing them a few years ago when I was out at night.
If nothing else, it's a good excuse to take the AI out at night into some of our remote areas of St. Joseph sound.
Here's a couple videos I found for anyone interested in trying shrimping or heading out with me some night to try it:
