Hey Jared, Ernie is my Dad! This was such a great video, it was so sweet to see Wimpy out there with Dad. 🧡 thanks for sharing.

that chain on your trawl is weight for the lead line. to hold the trawl on the bottom. you need another chain running from board to board that will be your tickler chain. it should be a foot or so shorter than the lead line of your trawl so it rides the bottom a bit ahead of the lead line. that way when it kicks up the shrimp, they will go right in the trawl.

It is all ways good to see that you are keeping your uncle active.

Showing South Louisiana at its finest. Love the Cajun Culture. Resourceful, talented folk.

Enjoy your video! It was good to see you caring your son and letting him have fun and experience seeing what it’s like to catch shrimp in a Dragnet. Keep up the good work

I thoroughly enjoyed shrimping with my grandfather in the New River and the Intracoastal Waterway out of Snead’s Ferry, NC. The last boat we used was a 15 1/2 foot Happy Traveler flat bottom fiberglass boat. We pulled an 18 foot trawl net with it and also used it for setting hill nets with. I did it by myself a couple of times after his cancer got him unable to go and believe me, it’s hard, especially when it comes time to take in the my and have to pull the boards in alone! Makes you appreciate the folks who do it every day!

Thanks for taking us along. Looks like a blast. Even catching grass to get to the shrimp is better than going to work.

Shrimp and grits are one of my favorites. You are definitely multi talented. I enjoy the cooking part of your videos a lot.

Love me some shrimp and grits. Love seeing Jack shrimping with daddy. Your videos are great to watch. We watch most of them.

Awesome episode. Your son will remember this day forever.

Love the family atmosphere! Keep up the great work!

Enjoyed this. Liked that you showed us the reality of, at times, catching more grass, wood and crab pots than shrimp. Glad you caught enough shrimp for a good cook up. Thanks.

“No respectable Cajun would use instant grits” quote from My Cousin Vinny 😂😂

I’ve been watching your stuff for a little over a day now and really love it because you kind of show real life and it’s interesting. It’s not always exciting but it is interesting and I’m enjoying it. One of your other videos it’s a couple hours long where are youwere in a number of different commercial fishing operations over the course of the two hours. Where is my favorite so far as matter fact, I’m trying to interest my sons coming to Saint Bernard Parish to do some fishing and enjoy local culture and seafood.

Thank you for sharing your life with the world. This segment reminded me of my youth. My cousin and I would go into the Intercoastal Waterways of Eastern North Carolina with our cast nets to get bait. We would haul out shrimp, crabs, mullet (for cut bait), and what we called "minnows." My Aunty would tell us to save the "minnows" and bring them back to the house and she would fry them up in a pan and serve them over rice. They were delicious!!! I also enjoy shrimp and grits. As Uncle Wimpy says, "That's some good eatin' there boy." Keep up the great work that you do. God Bless you and your family. Aloha, Alex Rubio

Good ol boys just having some great fun!!

Hay guys I liked to see the little one show so much interest in wat was going on. My Dad , ad me used to go crabbing , and shrimping alot . Lots of good memories (James H. ) .

Only the Cajun way, with family and friends. Keep up the great work Jared, we love to see you with your boys, teaching them the Cajun way.

Uncle Wimpy is da man.. glad to see family doing things keep it up.

I love everything you do you guys are freaking awesome

Hi Jared. Loved the video; Ernest, my son, thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Wimpy surprised him with this outing. We left “down the road” feeling blessed to be there with family. 👏👍❤️

Don't know how Im just now finding your vids. Keep it up

My father had a ‘Sportsman’s Net’ that we used to shrimp with in and around Galveston Bay. There was a limit of a 16 or 18 foot mouth and the boards had a limit on the size. It was intended to just catch bait shrimp and we were limited to 2 quarts each. (If I remember correctly.) Many memories of getting up early and getting out on the bay and watching the sunrise over the water. We would pinch the heads, peal and devein them when we got home. Momma would fix up a batter and fry the shrimp and some fries. Nothing better than a belly of fresh fried shrimp and fries and an afternoon nap.

Jared another great video sometimes just the simplest thing is making memories for life with jack

Would love to do this. Great video. I just love the accent of folks from this part of the country.

I thought your video was great. From Minnesota so it's great to see what you do for fun.

U make me so hungry, good Louisiana cooking. I'm a canjun an that's my kind of food..keep up the good job...

Yummy Shrimp n' grits.... When sauteing shrimp,...I add little CREAM OF SHRIMP SOUP to get a sauce consistency, then add to my grits. The rest of the soup I save an put it in my shrimp fettuccine sauce. Yummy. Love ❤ all your videos...

I came up with a system that you could also try. I have a 19 ft sea pro. Installed 8” cleats about 3 ft up from the transom. I tie off with my pull rope on each side. Hang the boards off of them too when im setting up. Cant go fast with boards like this. But i have a system to pack the net and boards into a box of sort. Long story short, i never stop the boat. Leave the boat at idle speed. Pull in the boards. Hang the boards each side installed a lazy line to port board. The net at this time is right behind the boat still open but at the surface. You can watch it like this and tell if it is open right. I turn slightly port and pull the sock in with the lazy line. Get it, dump it, tie it, toss it. Straiten out and let the boards back in the water. Start picking during your next trawl. I also designed a bycatch reduction device at the front of the sock. Getting too many croakers and such. But your line attached to the boards to the boat should have markers on them to tell how much line you have out. I have 80 feet of line. Marked at 3 different spots plus the full length. Set for up to 5 ft of water, up to 8 ft of water, 16 ft then 26 ft. The ratio for line out is 3:1. Every ft of water is 3 ft of line. I will post a video on my channel here soon of how it is set up. When my net is packed away on the boat you cant even tell it is a net. TrWl boards and all. But, i am running my boat commercially. Be surprised how easily a 16 ft net can be pulled in at idle speed.

catch a couple more you can have yourself a cocktail , ha ha ha , great video and great way to spend the day with family ...

Keep these coming love you channel

i love your videos and i'd like to live in your nick of the woods. the way you guys live and fish and shrimp or any other kind of water sport is awsome. nice to see you teaching the kids the way of life too. keep the vids coming.

Damn, I remember the early days that my Wife's Grandfather used to drag his shrimp net behind his 14' John Boat down here in the Texas Bays & catch loads of shrimp & huge Flounder! One pull he got over 50 Flounder in that damn net but that was in the 80's.

I sure do enjoy when you go out with Uncle Wimpy and do a catch and cook . I love me some shrimp and grits .

My dad used to cast his net on a canal off of Lake Pontchartrain , he used a can dog food with ice pick holes in it. He caught many shrimp that way. He owned Arabi Cabs until he died in 1989

Love the video! My favorite part is that you didn't edit out the ugly of it. Still had a great lunch

Enjoy the videos. Keep ‘em coming

Yummm! Grits and SHRIMP!!

hi Jared we have fish here in England like those little ones you fried we call them Whitebait, and we dredge them in seasoned flour fry for two mins and eat them whole,,very tasty ..thanks for another great video ..

It's great to watch your videos and learn about your culture.

You guys are having all the fun. Luv dem shrimps!

Loved the show miss lausanne

I love that you eat what you catch

Uncle Whimpy dropping knowledge!

i love catch and cook videos..i love this one especially

Tehachapi? That's only 45 minutes from where i live. Heck, we might know each other.

I know exactly where you're shrimping. I was there last weekend and launched from the same boat launch!

Love the content. Sorry you pulled a lot of Grass. You will do better next time. I had some shrimp and grits in Nashville Tenn for first time 2 months ago , and I gotta say , it was delicious!

You guys remind me of my father if he caught it on this Hook when we were fishing big old little we came home to hit the grease

Seeing the grass reminded me of my childhood. So much grass, so little shrimp. 25-30 pulls and I’d be exhausted.

Thanks for showing us yalls life style love to be there with yall big howdy from Saltillo Mississippi

We call them extra small shrimp here in Texas. I have a place that we go that you would think they are bigger than your hand. 5-10 count maybe like 2-5. No joke.
