Here’s another fish tail. When asked if he is getting any help from BP, this shrimper says “5,000 dollars a month, but when I was working, I was making that in a couple of days.” 18:30 into the interview. C-span - Fisherman in Grand Bayou, Louisiana

Believe it or not shrimping is a real conundrum for fisherman.

There is a thing called by-catch which has devastated many fin fish species all over the Gulf. Shrimping is on the outs these days.

On the other hand when some of us go fishing the first place we go to are the shrimp boats where we can get some of the by-catch to use for bait and chum.

Ying and yang at work here.
