For those who have been anticipating the shrimp season to start at Hilton Head Island, there is good news in the offing. Even though commercial shrimping season has been postponed this year, commencing only about a month later than normal, fishermen are confirming some great hauls of brown shrimps from the waters now. As this Island Packet report says, local boats are trawling the waters off the island for summer brown shrimp really successfully.
Reasons for Delay of Shrimping Season
As reported by the Department of Natural Resources, the lower than normal temperatures this winter brought about the postponement in the starting of shrimping season this year. The first crop of shrimp did not make an appearance when anticipated so this obligated the DNR to require a delayed start to the season. The postponement helped the shrimp to repopulate by fall. It is theorized that the white shrimp that are usually harvested during springtime couldn't make it through the abnormally cold weather conditions during the winter.
Good Hauls with Brown Shrimp
The Department of Natural Resources reported that trawlers were hauling in summer brown shrimp since a week ago. A DNR biologist declared that these shrimp made quite a sudden appearance in the waters off Hilton Head Island. About ten other boats that had been out on the waters also reported good catches of these fish. For the locals, the arrival of the brown shrimp brings great comfort. Seafood restaurants, especially, have much to celebrate now that they are able to re-supply their decreased shrimp stores. However, the action out on the water still seems to be uncommonly subdued. Maybe shrimpers remain disheartened by the fact that they were unable to get their normal haul of the larger sized white shrimp. The white shrimp also is the more lucrative variety to sell.
Rains Will Bring Relief
Residents are waiting for the rains get started on here because then the shrimp will mature to larger sizes. The rain provides nutrients to the waters here which are important for the shrimp's growth. The fish will also begin to proceed downstream from the small feeder creeks as soon as the rain starts. The brackish water in those feeder creeks simply does not provide ample nutrients to the fish which is the reason they're smaller in size than normal this season, locals say.
