Rusted, bleached and battered rigging is evidence that a fishing boat has seen years of work and certainly some great adventure. Provoking the imagination, this photo compells me to look beyond the nets and out to the beautiful Gulf of Mexico.
The fishing industry has intrigued me ever since growing up in Fort Myers, Florida— a town once called the shrimping capital of the world. I'd love to be a guest and watch the deep-water process from beginning to end. Will the boat leave sight of land? What bounty will be hauled from the depths that day? Will snapper, bonita and grouper be pulled onboard along with the shrimp?

This is not a joke (I swear!) but you can see some stuff about shrimps on Forrest Gump (when the guy decides to buy a ship to fish shrimps to honour to his friend Bubba and his dream around shrimps)... Quite interesting in fact :-)).
Kind regards from Spain :-)

Yes, that's a great movie. I've seen it twice. But trust me, the Gulf of Mexico is prettier than the Atlantic Ocean. On a sunny day, the water can be the most beautiful shades of blue.
