After a 10-day delay, inshore shrimp season opened Monday. Louisiana Shrimp Association President Acy Cooper says the later start to the season is actually a very good thing.
“They wanted to open August 1, and everybody was pretty much against it because we still had a lot of small shrimp. So they wanted to leave it closed for a couple more weeks to see if we could get a little bit bigger size,” Cooper said.
