Well my wife and I don't have kids, so what I need to get by on might be different. I think they pay roughly $2-3 a pound for shrimp. Of course you'll need ot factor in boat, nets, riggin, commercial license etc
well got out here on March 1st, finally settled in and gonna start work on the 17 soon to get it water ready. Have been usin a 12 ft jon boat from a neighbor and bought a home made 5hp mud motor for it. I have been KILLIN the blue cats and eatin good :mrgreen:

I just picked this hull up last week for $500, trailer is too small for it but ok for now. I am in sw Fl now but am moving to s la and would like to turn this into a commercial shrimp boat. i have seen plenty of the smaller rigs like this used, but never up close to see how all the rigging is...
