Norther disrupts seas as boats chase shrimp report gaps
A harsh norther sweeps the Gulf with 45 mph winds and 10 ft seas as crews cut short runs and return home. Despite rough conditions, fishermen report some big catches with 64 boxes unloading at Port Isabel and 28 to 50 odds elsewhere, while shrimp reports remain incomplete due to missing staff and listings.

A lively fishing boat log reviews shrimp catch totals across multiple boats and ports with numbers of boxes loaded at WBP, Seafood Mart, and Magic Valley. It notes big trips, rough seas, and a strong late week finish, then shifts to a feature on South Pacific shell diving and pearl fisheries, detailing historical dangers, ownership shifts, and profit dynamics.
