Fishing

[Busia]

I keep checking and there's nothing new on the site. So here is something new.
Well, here is my fishing report: not very good for salmon this year, got a couple nice halibut and some red snapper and Dungeness crab. Did real good for shrimp this year. Will try to put some pics here...

put out 8 shrimp pots

got 5 gals of shrimp

Not knowing anything about the value of shrimp, asking whether 5 gals pays for gas for the boat....doing this commercially? or for home consumption?

The shrimp are just a back up if we don't catch any fish so we don't feel like we go home empty handed. Plus my wife really likes shrimp. We are just sport/ subsistence fishing for them so it is illegal to sell them. Right now a commercial fisherman is selling the tails for $12 a pound. Here is a pic of some nice big ones.
Even when we do really good fishing I doubt it pays for the gas. I just figure it's an expensive hobby and the fish are a bonus.
