Hey Nat. What's the scuttlebutt up your way on lobsterings latest nosedive?
In Response To: Probably mackerel..... ()

Cheezis, I thought they were finally coming out of the hole and bang! I've been told they came into shallow water way early this year. That doesn't work as the consumers weren't ready(to buy) and now the pounds are back upped up with inventory, and even turning some some lobstermen away. And the price has plummeted, again!

My daughter worked a day as sternman for a friend in South Bristol, when they took the catch in two days ago, boat price was $2.20 Yikes! That's about 1 buck a pound below their costs around here. (She brought home 6 though )

So there's been some talk from the idiot fringe about pulling traps and cutting anybody that doesn't follow suit! Maybe the buoys will thin out afterall?
