And while you catch salmon your shrimp pot will be soaking since shrimp season is open all year up there with limits at 200 per person (last I checked).

What size shrimp we talkin bout??? Cocktail shrimps are kinda shrimpy!!!

WOW! Your rig looks pretty dedicated.
Makes me and my Buzz Bomb feel under gunned.

Thanks, There is a method to my madness...
I go for the gusto after many a year of practicing to catch fish, I be a bit serious nowadays.

I only shrimp (Prawn) in BC.
That way I don't need to take a surveyor and a lawyer along.

Biggest prawns I ever ate were in Acapulco:





But these Alaska prawns (4-6/lb) are looking pretty good:

When I fish solo I generally bring my lab but the little dog went apebubblegum after I let her out the door and closed it in front of him.
The Mrs needs her sleep so maybe next time I'll just bring them both. LOL

I lost my pics on my old phone so had to snap one. Here's my fish alarm & bestest fishin buddy.

Had a friend who's Lab used to watch the down riggers for him and bark when they started to buzz.

Another fantastic day on the water with my SIL, We started at 9:45, yeah he slept in till 7, I was up at 6am gettin stuff ready.

Did I mention that it was HOT??? I'm glad I have a top on the boat!!!! We lost two more monsters so I'm officially naming the SIL "Rookie Netter".... Good times though.

Lots of pleasure boaters here but it's nowhere near as bad as Merwin.

Nice fish! The lake looks like it is down a few feet, hopefully it won't go down any further like it did last year.

Actually it's a lot higher than when you went last year, zoom in on the ramp. Last year the whole ramp was out of the water. You do remember the long hike up the ramp to get the trailer, right???
It's fishing very well & we have lots of water now.... Not saying how long it's going to stay like that with this 85* temps.

I remember it but my quads remember it more! I was thinking it was a few feet down from the high water mark on the bank. Lol. I would sure hope it's higher than it was when I went!

The maiden voyage 2019 Has come and went, I put in at 7:52 this morning (I know I know, caveman slept in) but here it is 9:03 and I've got my limit. Only a five fish limit, they ought to change that to 50, then I might break a sweat.
I'm going to head home and take a nap.

Is hard work

I'd be willing to bet most of you armchair fisherman haven't even got your work chairs warm yet. LOL

I sure hope you all have a wonderful day at WORK...
