Recreational Shrimping #DiscoverBoating

Disclosure: I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Discover Boating. I received collateral to facilitate my review and a promotional item as a thank you for participating.

Discover Boating: Shrimpin’

Boating CollageThere is nothing more fun then going recreational shrimping.  It’s like digging for hidden treasure and finding the most interesting things the sea has to offer hidden among delicious fresh shrimp straight from the water.  The only thing better is when that shrimp leaves straight from the water into the steamer and then into your mouth.  It’s only one of the  experiences we have gotten to discover thanks to boating.  Whether it is in the lake or in the ocean there are so many things to do that can only be done via boating.  In addition, you can look to Discover Boating if you are ever looking for different boating activities.

When we went recreational shrimping on a passenger steel shrimping vessel named LADY JANE it was an experience I will never forget.  It was like an episode of something straight off the Discovery Channel mixed with a leisurely cruise.  We sailed around the waters for a few hours and got to learn a lot about the shrimping industry and some of the marine life we caught such as Bonnethead , Blacktip, Sand shark, Horseshoe Crab,Puffer Fish, Amberjack, Crocker, Spot, Whiting, Bluecrab and Skate.  We got to take tons of photographs and we even held baby sharks, but the best part was being out on the water enjoying the fresh sea air as we sat back and ate fresh boiled shrimp.  

Discover Boating CollageLooking through all my photographs you can tell that boats are of particular interest to me whether they be large cruise ships, sail boats, or small jon boats.  I would love to own a pontoon boat and one day we will.  I love the cost comparison tool from Discover Boating because it puts the cost of owning a boat into prospective and let’s me know what I need to give up to save.  For now though we will make due with kayaks and our jon boat and if we want to rent a pontoon boat we can find boat rentals on Discover Boating too.  Fortunately living in Florida we have a long boating season (nearly year round) so we will be hitting the seas again several times this year.

    That looks so fun. You get to eat some while you are cruising too. Sounds like a great way to spend an afternoon.
