I Found the MOTHER LOAD of Shrimp in a ROADSIDE DITCH (Catch and Cook)

foreign folks here we are at the roadside ditch this is a good one down here in Saint Bernard Parish when you come to visit us here in Saint Bernard come on your trip book you a place to stay and we got lots of places like this to stop along the road and fish this by you I know I'm calling it a dish but it's actually a bayou and you can come down here and do this yourself but you're gonna need some of this that's right that's the filet mignon right there that's dog food folks and we're gonna hopefully turn this filet mignon dog food into filet mignon of the Bayou that's right we're using this to bait up and catch shrimp I got my podna Vinnie from Pelican bone outdoors and we are some shrimp catching dudes ready to put some videos for y'all together so let's get right into it all right y'all so we're gonna go ahead and put some holes in here and try to get that scent and juiciness flowing into that water and get them shrimp congregated around it we'll throw our Nets in the area where this can will be sitting there's my can of dog food AKA shrimp bait I'ma toss it right where I want to be throwing my neck let it sit and hopefully them juices get them shrimpy Dews hanging out and ready cast netted all right folks another thing I'm going to try is I'm going to try to trap those shrimp with a crawfish trap okay so in order to do that for bait I've got some cat food that's right we got the filet mignon dog food this is Fancy Feast medley's cat food so we'll pop that top open that about halfway okay drop it in close my trap back up here put my clip back on now it's ready to throw out so we got two things we're trying we're trying cast netting and we're trying traps all right let's see [Applause] oh my God on Earth oh man what a mess I've got myself into I might have to put a couple of those on a hook see what we can get sure not what I felt like dealing with on my first cast folks not at all what I felt like being with on my first cast all right y'all let's try that again hopefully I don't get all pokied up that big old look at that big big jumbo got me a big jumbo yo oh got one they're falling out let's see me a big jumbo shrimp they kicking in the nut Vinnie and they jumbo oh look at that they're good and we ain't got those at the house that's good enough for a bowl man the jumbos y'all we catching off of them we're gonna catch some crap [Applause]

course oh and a crab oh yeah all jumbos look at this big jumbo in there oh this is why you come to Saint Bernard folks now I will say this you want to book that trip soon because something like this it could be gone and pretty soon so go ahead and book that trip visit that website get on down here one delicro Highway okay and you just gotta find spots there's really no oh hey come to this spot this was the best that one's the best you got to get down here ride around do your homework on you a good spot a jumbo come on jumbos oh that's got to be right by the dog food right there and this one stump knock her along with my shrimp see my jumbos and then you see my stump knocker out of bag cast not a bag oh man look at the size of this one look at the size of those shrimp folks life is good here in Saint Bernard come see us all right y'all since I know I'm catching here I'm gonna go ahead and put the camera away try to get some numbers going for a second but that's what we got big jumbo shrimp so I'm gonna put the camera away for a second try to get some efficient casts in and load this bucket up a little bit [Music] oh [Music] all right y'all that's what I got so far I've made probably about 10 throws since I uh went to the time lapse on the camera I'll go ahead and get these all nice keep them nice and fresh so far life is good [Music] back to the West dog food and numbers wise it makes a difference y'all if that net has got shrimp from the top to the bottom so definitely the dog food these shrimp are nice big size I love it okay all right so if you're watching this you may have noticed that I caught some freshwater fish some salt water fish and some shrimp all in the same as you can right so the reason for that is this is brackish water it's a mix of fresh water and salt water so as the crow flies I'm probably uh 30 miles or so to the Gulf of Mexico from here so this Bayou here actually used to be the Mississippi River at one point disconnected directly to the Mississippi River many moons ago of course so it was a complete well not a complete but it was a Freshwater Bayou that was influenced through Tides with salt water and that's what built this great fishery that you're seeing here was all that mixing of those two elements the freshwater of the salt water the nutrients that were in the Mississippi River the clean saltiness of the gulf or the fish go to spawn the shrimp go to spawn they all came together to make this little Sports in Paradise here in Saint Bernard Parish and that's why I've been telling you for a year now over a year now to come visit Saint Bernard because it is so unique geographically we're on the Eastern side of New Orleans which puts us in a unique spot because we supplied New Orleans with the seafood they needed New Orleans is a is a food mecca for the world [Applause] and you could see why because I'm hanging out here with my buddy Vinnie verdant from Pelican bone Outdoors and there's a road right behind me completely Public Road and we're catching shrimp nice truck that in other parts of the country that could be 14 a pound but here you are in Saint Bernard getting it for just your time that's why we want you to come folks now if you are planning the trip or interested in planning a trip the best resource we have is that website visit saintpenord.com I'm not able to plan your trip for you I try to
