DAYBOAT SCALLOPS AUDIO CORRECTED

[@skipman4735]

Thanks for the video. My family is from Lubec just across the bay. I spent all my summers there as a kid. I had a 12' boat with a 10 horse evenrude outboard. The fishing used to be unbelievable in the 70's. We would handline a couple of thousand lbs. Of cod and pollack a day.

It wasn't almost fished out 20 years ago. The government closed areas everywhere and didn't open them for years. So it appeared they were almost fished out. I was one of those fishermen out of Virginia for 8 1/2 years.

Thanks for the comment, I love these types of discussions. My statement comes from experience as a fish monger, when thru the 90’s I could only find 20/30 and smaller scallops in the market. Closures and active management have created the boom that we have now. I think one important takeaway is that management is always years, if not a decade, behind reality. Data collection (not a perfect science), data analytics, bureaucratic delays and action take a tremendous amount of time. See the flounder video for some discussion on this.

Great management you say barely pay the fuel bill

That day 80# in 3 hours work time. 10 min steam out, 3 tows, and 10 minute steam back. They made a nice profit for the day. Today scallops are the largest dollar value fishery in the USA and there is a lot of money being made. Hopefully the point we were trying to make was received, that active management works. Of course there’s always a lag between real time conditions and management, which is very frustrating. Profits will be better when there’s more product and more quota.
