angler Posted November 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Na ...I think they just parked their boats ... Sorry ... originally I posted an article from the Portsmouth , NH newspaper with a bunch of strange headlines ...One specifically about a NH fisherman ( "Fisherman Charged With Purse Robbery ") ....and then I thought better of it because there were too many personal details in the article with a picture and he will get his day in court for the action .... So I deleted the text of my post but couldn't figure out how to delete the title .... Maybe a moderator could do it for me ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stryperStalker Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Lobster is cheap. I saw it for $3.99 a pound a few weeks ago. What is it that's driving the prices down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishoholic Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Lobster is cheap. I saw it for $3.99 a pound a few weeks ago.

stryperStalker Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 demand? good question.. I saw a cooked whole 1 1/2 #'er in stop and shop last week for 4.25$..that thing didnt stand a chance..i almost ate it before i got home I just saw a quick news blurb that the demand from consumers and processors is way down, which is causing the drop in price. I'm going to support the industry and pig out on lobster all weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 With the economy in the toilet,and the price of diesel(until very recently)in the stratosphere,demand disappeared,and it wasn't worth fishing. It wouldn't pay you more to walk on water,than to wear a crown of thorns, It wouldn't pay me more to bury you rich,than to bury you poor...

aqua-holic Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 The biggest reason is said to be the inability of the Canadians to get the financing that they have historically used to purchase large amounts of lobsters from the states steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalkinTheDog Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 I also saw something about the canadians not being able to get credit. Lobster is sounding pretty good. But at 11.99 for 1 1/4's in worcester, i dont think so. I will shop around on the cape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
