MA 11 Coonstripe and Pink Shrimp Fishing

[homewaters]

I have fiddled with Coonstripe and Pink Shrimp fishing in MA 11 over the last few years and have yet to catch a single one. Anyone willing to give up a location that actually produces a catch in MA 11?!

Well, good luck with that HW,
Living with a depth restriction on coonstripe rules out a lot of water and if you crank up the sensitivity on your sounder, you can rule out even more.
Spot prawns, coonies, pink and even euphasids such as krill will mark on your sounder as a diffuse cloud. Motor around sandy and gravel bottoms until you see the "cloud" and bomb your pots on them!
Good luck and welcome aboard!

Nelly, do you know why it's completely closed in MA-10. Seem odd that there's opportunity on either side of Seattle but not in MA-10. I also wonder why there is a depth restriction considering the extremely minimal effort put into non-spot shrimp fishing.
