Drem,
The Maine shrimp boats have had a very short season for the past couple of years. I think this year the season opened in January and closed in March.

A "tote" of shrimp? I didn't think New Hampshire was THAT far away......sounds British!

 

[Codkiller]

The Maine shrimp have been hammered just like everything else. You used to be able to drive up the coast of Maine and see quite a few people selling shrimp out of garages, pickup trucks and anything else that would hold them.
If I remember right I think the price was about a buck a pound back in the day.

NEW HAMPSHIRE,

I think I'm offended!!! How about it. Do any of my other downeast brethren feel the same?

I think NEW HAMPSHIRE is just jealous cause our coastline is bigger than his!!!(LOL)

A "Tote" is fishing jargon for a plastic box used to hold fish and other sundries aboard a fishing vessel.

Here are examples of the word used in sentences:

1) Hey Mack, can you dump a tote of ice into my fish box?

2) How many totes of cod did we harvest on this trip?

3) How many fluke does it take to fill a tote?

By the way, where did you hide your fying saucer when you landed?

sent tim tower an email and he is unavailable till the end of the month,,oh well should of picked his brain last month. he's a busy man,I will be on the coast this weekend I'll ask around

 

[Codkiller]

Tim used to trap his own shrimp during the winter with big traps set in the mud. He didn't like the quality of the dragger caught shrimp. The last few years I think he has just kept an eye out for a good load of fresh shrimp from the daggers and grabbed it up,bagged it, and quick froze it for the summer. If I can grovel my way onto the BC shakedown cruise I'll quiz him.
