Shrimp were running last week, sometimes is a hit and miss when you go shrimping. If the shrimp boats are around is a good sign.

My experience over the past 40+ years is that its always hit & miss or hit & git shrimping.
The sign that they ran recently is when you see the new trucks on the side of the road selling fresh, or not necessarily so fresh, shrimp's.

When you say Hillsbourough and you caught a lot, what is a lot ?
Can a person/boat get a 5 gallon bucket limit, or are we talking a few dozen ?
Are these shrimp flowing out with the tide form the ICW or in from the Ocean ?

I've alway's shrimped B-Bay, as a kid we used to go form the seawalls at Dodge Island or from the old old Rickenbacker bridge, and there they ride the outgoing tide's out to the ocean. In the past 10 years or so we been hitting it by boat by the Rickenbacker... locate a spot, anchor up before the tide change, setup the lights and wait with the dip nets.

Not as much as those in Rickenbaker bridge.
A really good day, about 1/4 ~ 1/3 5 Gal bucket full.... I saw some caught 1/2 full... A guy on boat should catch limit...
Always, south corner of beginning of outgoing tide... But the whole run last less than about two weeks.
