Musings from Gary | Port Protection

when poor protection are very lucky for
the abundance of seafood wildlife most
everything we get comes from nature the
waters of port protection present a
feast to those who know how to catch it
but few take better advantage of her
bounty then thirty-six year fisherman
Gary Muehlberger I’ve been eatin fish
and clams and even octopus but I’m kind
of craving some shrimp right now it’s
that time of year the weather is a
little calmer so hopefully we’ll have a
little success there catching some
shrimp whatever I’m not as confident
going after the shrimp as I am king
salmon fishing but I’m not afraid to try
and I’m just hoping that my luck will
carry through and I catch a couple of
pounds of spot prawns to catch shrimp
Hans left a couple of shrimp pots in his
skiff for me
the shrimp there they go in these doors
these little openings they go in through
there and then they can’t get back out
you have this part here closed up like
so
and you come on over and get a little
strain on it there and there it is
this pot looks pretty good before I go
shrimping I got to look at the pots over
it’s always to a person’s advantage to
check things out ahead of time once
you’re out there is hard to accomplish
those things
this one here it’s got a broken weld
right here so that’s why you look at
stuff see if I can use this stuff to
repair that
I don’t fix this it’s possible that this
thing could shift a little bit
that’s dif it happened but just as a
good idea to keep them in good repair if
you can I have most everything ready
I’ve ran through all the parts I coiled
up my buoy line and I should be ready to
go in the morning
the sure is a nice day for a
beer-drinkin know
