That's interesting. As a young man, I worked in the back of a boat as a cork. I did mackerel seining, which I know you guys don't do anymore. It's hand lines and drift nets, but mostly hand lines in eastern P.E.I. As you described, it's a clean fishery. There's no bycatch. It's a controlled fishery.
I'm wondering about your experiences when you're out tuna fishing. I've heard from a lot of tuna fishermen about the size of the schools. Would that compare with what you saw when you first got into the fishery? In the 1980s, when I was mackerel seining, we could walk on the schools of mackerel off Naufrage and North Lake.
I just want a comparison.
