Shrimp producers report a cautious upturn with more boats delivering five barrels or more, lifting total pounds though overall harvest still soft. Many crews extend trips beyond a week as higher per night yields tempt long runs. Brownsville fleet adds 1500 pounds to the tally, with whites and small shrimp sporadic.
The Aransas Pass area led with about 15 600 pounds of shrimp in the 61 and over count, while Galveden produced 2.00 pounds total with half white and half brown but no extra white shrimp. A captain in the fleet paid a 500 dollar fine for profane short wave radio language.
