shrimpers
Gulf fleet boats
Shrimpers are people who catch shrimp commercially, typically operating boats equipped with trawling nets in coastal waters.
The term applies both to the fishermen themselves and sometimes to the vessels they use.
Shrimping is a significant industry along the Gulf Coast and in other regions where shrimp are abundant.
The shrimpers headed out before dawn to check their nets.
