You guys always make my day. I just had a good cry watching your dolphins at the boat. That was my birthday gift every year from my husband to go on a dolphin watch. The best gift I could get. He died in July so it’s just watching you now. It made me happy and sad at the same time. Thank you for such a beautiful scene. Made my day!!!!!
Thanks.
The Drag Queen is awesome👍. I'm so happy for you. This was a beautiful day. You are so excited and I'm loving these videos. Be safe and stay happy.🤗😘
Thanks so much.
What a blessing for you both!!! So happy for you Oliver and Stephanie!
Thanks so much. We're putting in the time and effort to get more fresh shrimp for the ones who support us. That's a blessing.
No one is working harder for them shrimp... It sure ain't easy....another great video
That's right. We're going to wreck them together, I'm sure. We have to believe.
Oh my, the shrimp. How I’d love a plate of fried, boiled and scampi!! Thank you for the ride and the view! You two never disappoint. Trawling or shelling.
Thanks for taking the time to comment and watching.
You have to have bigger if you're wanting more. I'm so happy for you guys. I love that name.
That's right. I'm always looking for ways to make an extra buck. It sure beats sitting at home. I hope the boat pays off but if it don't That's OK too.. Life is good.
Oh yeah...I'm lovin' that new trawl Boat too...great name...just need to get it printed on your Boat...the Drag Queen !!! Woot, Woot !!
LOL! We'll make it happen.
Nice boat! Lovely scenery as usual. Thanks!
Thanks! We were definitely surrounded by beauty.
Nice rig! Love watching you guys!
@@deborahnay8736 Thanks. We're hoping for some good times aboard her and some big pulls of shrimp. Happy Thanksgiving!
Just awesome, you guys gotta be loving that boat!
I wish. Everytime I turn around it's been B.O.A.T type of deal. I'm just hoping to get all of its problems sorted out soon or at least by next shrimp trawling season here. Our shrimp trawling season will go out soon. It will go out here in December or January.
Love the new boat y'all got so much more room and a warm place to get in I think it's great. Hope it does well for y'all and looking forward to all the new videos.
Thanks so much. Trawl season will go out soon here in SC. Hopefully I'll have all the kinks worked out with the boat before next season.
I always have enjoyed your trips. Shrimpin. Shelling. Crab in. ❤
Thanks so much. I'm glad you've enjoyed our trips together.
Very nice white shrimp. Wow very nice so good to eat. Semper Fi
They're yummy 😋.
@@SaltyReflections Yep there are the best.
Happy for y'all with the larger boat and really enjoy the channel.
Thanks. I'm hoping the new boat helps filling our orders in the future.
@@SaltyReflections I'm sure that y'all will continue to grow both as CZcamsrs and definitely as shrimpers.
@@Inamorata.367 thank you
I haven’t seen you guys for a while, I’m glad to see you back.
Yehbudi!
I love it very nice job 👍🏽
Thanks! I'll love it too when it stops giving us so many issues. All I can say is B.O.AT. If you love boating you should understand.
My goodness I love love shrimp!! I’m jealous 😂🤣😂
Us too! 😋 One of our favorites! 🦐🤩🍤 We are blessed to have the ability to catch our own! Fresh shrimp are so good!
Wow!
Thanks for coming along.
Looks fun .loving it. Gotta enjoy what you do. I'd love to try this..we don't have it up north lol
We love trawling for shrimp. It's great if you love to be out on the water.
Hi Oliver and Steph! Love it! That boat is so much roomier. Love the sorting set up. All those yummy shrimp! And I can just see those grand babies taking naps or playing in that berth. Sweet video and the dolphins are always extra special. I'm headed down to Edisto wed afternoon thru sun. Can't wait! You guys have a wonderful and blessed Thsnksgiving!!
Thanks. I love the new boat but it's been rough dealing with its issues so far. Hopefully I'll be able to sort them all out. I'm definitely looking forward to carrying our kids and grandkids out in comfort. Hope you have a great time in Edisto. Happy shelling and shark tooth hunting. Stay safe and take care.
Nice Shrimp Trawl enjoyed it
Thanks
The dolphins 💜 I could watch a video of just them on a loop haha. Nice haul guys!
Aren't they awesome!? 🥰 I love them too! 🐬🩵🐬🩵
@@SaltyReflections so beautiful! 🐬
Wow! The shrimp are running, the Drag Queen is at work. Thanks to you two for a great video!🦐❤️👍🏻
We're hoping for some great days aboard her.
Lot of faith in a rope as a towing point.
The bridle is steel cable.
Loving that new boat and the realtree shirt ! I've been fighting a severe case of Gout the last two weeks and the Doc called today and told me to stay away from shellfish and shrimp..what the heck !!! Y'all stay safe and warm too and keep putting out the GREAT Videos !@
Thanks. Hopefully that gout will get better soon. I'm hoping the new boat will help us. It's been giving us all sorts of problems so far.
@@SaltyReflections Boats are finicky but yall have got this !!
I also suffer from gout. I've been mixing a teaspoon of baking soda to a glass of water and chugging it. No more gout.
Hot tip. Your wifey is standing doing the sorting, right in the danger spot. Move the sorting table up front, just behind the wheelhouse. If a line snaps, she'll get hurt back where she's standing now....
Thanks for the advice.
I love your new boat.
Thanks. We're going to get them shrimp this year. 👍
Congrats on the boat!!! Look atcall those delicious Shrimp! My cholesterol is rising jus lookin at em! 🤩
Thanks. I'm hoping we can get all the kinks worked out of it and make some big pulls in the future to help with its expenses. Oh well, we'll see.
Love watching you guys all the time. Shrimp all I could eat. Lol
Thanks 😊! Lol. We love making these videos.
Wow guys really like your new boat. Love the sun in the background and the dolphins hanging out right behind the boat that is cool. Thanks for sharing. Almost 50 degrees here today. Sun felt awesome 👍
And the video made it warmer.
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Lol that bird doinked a dolphin on the head!!
😄
Loved watching you guys whether you are fishing or beach combing for pretty shells and such. So cool to see the Dolphins hanging around, easy meals for them. That knot you use is something similar to what I use when I tied my horses or when I tie my goats, just have to watch my sneaky filly, she knows how to undo these knots. When I take a break from my farm stuff(NorthernLightsGoats channel) I spend time either just sitting and playing with the babies and moms or I spend time making my Goat Milk Soap. Hope you guys have a fantastic day.
Thanks so much for watching! We're surrounded by the beauty of the wildlife in our area and we're in love with getting out on the water to enjoy it. I'll definitely check your channel out.
Love the new boat !! would love to be doing what ya'll are doing!
Thanks. Shrimping looks fun but it requires a lot of effort and gear. Some would love trawling and others wouldn't, I'm sure. I love it.
Glad I found you! I'm just trying to get started on my little 23 foot here in GA. Not many people are willing to help out anymore lol
I'm glad you found our channel too. Watch my method of shrimping and it will make your life a lot easier. We're commercial shrimpers because we have to be to trawl. LOL. What I mean is, I love trawling for hoppy and if you have any questions I'm here for help. I don't mind helping others that's willing to put in the time and effort it takes to trawl. I've never had anyone besides commenters on our videos that willing to help me either. Stay safe out there.
Awesome video as always guys,love the new boat. So awesome to see a family owned business do well. Thanks for the videos guys.
Thanks. We appreciate you.
Nice upgrade, glad to see Ya'll getting it done.
Thanks.
Nice
Thanks so much.
Too short!!!! 😎
🤭
Dolphin 🐬 at mint 11.08 wow
They're awesome to see.
@@SaltyReflections
Many many Dolphins 🐬🐬🐬🐬
😇😇😇
❤👍💯
Dolphin hangs round boat like intelligent wolf near a camp. Keep this up for long enough and you’ll get semi domesticated dolphins herding fish into the nets….
A lot of the dolphins are already domesticated around here.
Hey guys, great video. I am a new CZcamsr trying to start a fresh water bass channel in Alabama.
Thanks. I'll take a look at your channel and check out your content. I love seeing how others are putting their videos together. Good luck!
3:39 Dolphin!
They're awesome to watch in the wild.
Beautiful boat and nice catch! I just came across your channel and I have loved watching all your videos. I used to crab down that way every summer when I was a kid with my family and all your videos brought be back. Have you ever trawled for shrimp in the Port Royal Sound or do you always stay up in St. Helena Sound?
Glad you found our channel and you're enjoying our videos. We haven't tried trawling out of the Port Royal Sound. We trawl mostly in the St. Helena Sound in front of Harbor Island and over beside Otter Island. Hopefully with our new to us trawl boat we'll be able to venture out to other areas.
😇😇😇NOT LONG ENOUGH.😇😇😇
I tried my best. We've been dealing with issues with this boat that's slowed our videoing down. I've had to pay really close attention to her. Hopefully we'll get everything sorted out soon.
Parker is a good boat. I like Steiger Craft but they are outboard powered. Looks like a good setup you have going, be great when you fine tune it. What is she powered with? Please have a Happy Thanksgiving. God Bless
Eating some fried shrimp and thinking of you. Wish I could get your shrimp in NJ
Just last vid 5.7 L Merc
This Parker is solid for sure. It's powered by a 5.7 Mercruiser. Motor runs great when it's running. I'm sorting the issues out as needed. I'll get it straightened out one way or another. Hopefully it won't be too difficult.
I've been watching y'all for a long time and I would like to actually talk to y'all because I'm actually thinking about bringing my boat to South Carolina and trying
Where are you coming from and what type of boat are you bringing? How can I help you?
@@SaltyReflections I'll be coming from Tennessee. I've got a 20 ft. aluminum deck boat with a 90 hp Honda on it. where I need help is figuring out how to go about getting a captains license.
@@ashleysimmons6498 You'll have to visit a SCDNR office to purchase the type of captains' license needed for trawling. No class or schooling needed to purchase one. You'll also need to purchase your commercial trawl license.
@@SaltyReflections thank you that's exactly what I needed to know.
@@ashleysimmons6498 You're welcome. Good luck, have fun & be safe!
Hey guys love your content. Would you consider a shrimping charter?
Glad to hear you're enjoying our videos. Sorry, we're not licensed to do charters.
Boat could use a frame and skimmers electric winches for skimmers and bullet weights. Some tickle chains be a meat hawlin machine
Thanks for info. I'll look up the things you mentioned. We're amateurs at shrimp trawling. I'd love to make this boat a hawlin machine.
I know some things about trawling
👍👍👏
Thanks!
Real nice! Your rope you using to tie the bag is too big. Go with a 3/16 or no more than a 1/4", it will be plenty big enough. That's what we used on 50' trawls.
Thanks for the info. I'll definitely change ours.
Correct… Smaller diameter rope less chance of slippage. As the first knot: We make a simple knot tight, wraparound the bottom of the bag again, another simple knot then start the slipknot loops…much safer!!!
@@JCASTELLUCCIOJR Thanks for the info. When our season opens back up, we're going to try it out.
CHEd, please where do you buy your trawls? And what's the Engine HP and Torque that pulls your 50' Trawl?
Cool video! 30+ years ago there would be 50 boats out there! Are you pulling a mongoose?
Thanks! I've heard stories of how many small boats trawled in the past. We are one of a few now.
That first haul was huge! How many pounds of shrimp did you get from that??! Hope this works out for you guys and the boat doesn't eat up the profits. 😊❤️
I'm not sure how many lbs. was in that first pull. 50 lbs or so, just guessing. I'm hoping the boat don't eat up all the profits too. We're trying though. This shrimp trawl session will be over soon. I'll be hoping for the best next year. Stay safe and take care.
Where do you guys purchase your nets
I've used mostly used nets. You can find good used nets on Marketplace. If you're looking for a new net around Beaufort, I'd recommend Beaufort Marine Supply.
Who did you get your net from
The guys at Beaufort Marine Supply in Beaufort SC offer all types of trawling gear.
This is beautiful. What's the Engine power of this boat (Horsepower and Torque)? Can I order the complete net (Maybe double this size) and trawl doors? Can you arrange delivery to Cincinnati? Costs please?
I love this, Parker. It has the 5.7 MerCruiser that should be putting out 250 or more horsepower. We buy our trawl gear from a family-owned business here called Beaufort Marine Supply. It's located here in Beaufort SC. You can check and see if they have a web page for their business. I'm not sure if they do or not. They have all types of supplies for commercial fishermen.
@@SaltyReflections Thank you. I'll find them online and if they ain't here I'll come asking for a contact number or email to reach them on. Well-done.
@@SaltyReflections do you have a number to call please? Can't seen to find them. I have a MAN D2865 Diesel Boat that throws out 310HP and 1150Nm of torque which is laying unused. I want to do some commercial fishing with it. And it's fitted to a 30 by 10 footer. All that's left is the gig now. Thank you in anticipation.
Do yall have skimmers boats down there?
Nobody uses skimmers here in SC that I know of. I've seen them used in NC and other places with shallow trawling areas. Lots of the commercial boats I see here are trawling in 20+ feet of water. I don't really know how deep the skimmers are trawling.
OK man I use skimmers .
@@mushroomon What depths are best for skimmers?
They used to be 16ft long an 12 ft deep.now they they can go 20by20.you can fish deep are shallow.
Depends on we're the shrimp are .
How I volunteer time aboard your shrimp trawler?
We have to be good friends with the ones we take out or they have to come along with our friends that we trust. I hope you understand.
@SaltyReflections I understand. Thank you for the reply
Can a fan join to help out?
Really? Maybe if the fan signed a waiver. LOL.
@@SaltyReflections I'm down to sign a waiver and help out. Always wanted to do something like this. Let us know
Nice but why take the heads of. For a bisque thats where all the flavor is. Even for grilling I like head on.
Most people we deal with want the shrimp already headed. We've had a few that want us to leave their heads on. We work with the buyers on what they want. If someone let's us know they want their heads left on before we go, we'll put the amount they want to the side. Shrimp won't keep but a few days with the heads on. Storage is an issue. Especially since we do not use any preservatives or chemicals on them as most commercial shrimp boats do.
Do me a favor, in an up coming video say the words, "Screw you! I work for mel brooks".
😆 What?
You DO sorta sound like Slim Pickens..lol
It's all good !😅
@@patrickhorvath2684 we'll have to look him up.
Are you just dragging a net? Or are you using doors… I got a net… never used it ..
We're pulling a 42' net and 5' x 2.5' doors. The doors have to be used trawling like we're doing. They're what keep the net open. I was using a 25' net with 18" x 36" doors before I decided to move up.
@@SaltyReflections can I order this complete gig... Net, Trawl Door and Line? I'll like to know the depth of the net (Headrope to Footrope) please? And can I get something wider than 42'? Mesh size please?
@Buky Ekaiko I would think so.
@@SaltyReflections please point me in the right direction and location. I really need the complete gig, please.
@@SaltyReflections Can you sell or give out the old gig? How much please? Are they still in usable conditions? Thank you.
Try nylon works better
Thanks for the tip
Hydraulics will make your life easier
What all would I need? I've seen some guys using gas powered drum winches here.
You need hydraulics buddy
Yes, I know.
Well, you talked about virtually everything else BUT the art of shrimping. I learned nothing about catching shrimp from this video.
We're still learning about shrimp trawling and like sharing our adventures with others who enjoy our video content. We've never been around anyone willing to share much info about how to trawl. Some people enjoy our videos, and I'm sure there are ones that don't. We do the best we can.
