Hello Jay,
That would be 4 ground lines at 400 ft each, 2 pots per line. I only fish 2 lines, 4 pots on a soak any more takes up to much room in the boat. We can only have 200 prawns per fisher per day and only have a 2 day limit at camp we have taken up to 250 prawns on a soak. I have the 4 lines in the bucket just because it's easer to store and if you need them they are ready to go.
Later Dave.

Hay Dave,

Sorry, my miss-read-happens when you’re on pain medicine. Interesting how the shrimp go shallower the further south yea go. Out in Prince William Sound we drop down as far as 800 feet but usually shrimp in 500-650. I’ll now be dropping same as you, 2 lines 2 pots each. Best place here is steep and deep. Typical setup is 600 feet of ground line with 300-400 feet of floating line spliced in. The floating line prevents hang-ups on rocks and coral, been lucky so far.
Best we’ve done is about 190 shrimp on a pull which about fills a 5 gallon bucket, northern bugs grow big.
Best meat in the ocean and I grew up on Maine lobster.




Picture from last year, my son likes to sort out the Granddaddies.
The Prince William Sound spot shrimps life cycle is 8 to 10 years.

Happy shrimping.....

Jay
