BILOXI, Miss. (WLOX) - It looks like coast shrimpers will have to be a little more patient before they can drop their nets in the Mississippi Sound this summer.
Rainy weather during the last two months has caused salinity levels and lower water temperatures in our local waters, meaning it could push the start of the 2021 shrimp season back a few weeks.
Normally, shrimp season begins during the first or second week of June.
