Fort Myers Beach has a good sized fleet of shrimpers which are
seasonally active. Here's one that's working about 10 miles off the

Look for the orange "boat shape" a little west of Captiva Island and

I am not sure about now but FMB used to have the second largest
shrimping fleet in the US when I new some of the captains in the 90s.
They do transit to Texas about half the year tho.

My diesel mechanic owned 4 shrimpers in a former life. He still knows
a lot of the guys out at FMB.
