    Default Hey shrimpers

    If I have 25 pounds of shrimp how much do I have after heading them. I just eat shrimp not catch them.

    My dad and I always get 50lbs large from Carolina seafood. Usually end up with 37-38lbs of tails. Probably 20-25%

    Well you ate a bunch, so it would be hard to tell without knowing what a bunch is. Should of been about 15-16lbs after heading them.

    How do you guys feel about the taste of shrimp caught over bait (fish meal and mudballs) verses trawler caught shrimp?
    I used to go shrimping back in the day but it seemed like they didn't taste as good unless you deveined them. It wasn't worth the effort IMO.

    Deep hole only....baited shrimp is horrible.

    Haven't had tags since the mid 90s.
