This was going to be a good year," Shrimper Milk Champagne said while gazing into the water. He and his crew on his boat, named the Milky Way, dropped off their last load of shrimp at Port of Delcambre... One of his worst trips yet.
"We didn't catch nothin' the last time around." Champagne said, "we're in the hole here, we're in the hole." The Department of Wildlife and Fisheries ended the inland shrimping season on Monday for zone two; including all state waters between Vermillion Bay and the mouth of the Mississippi.
