Fisheries committee  I have two sons who would very much like to take over. Where we're located, the harbours on either side are about 20 miles away, so if you want to fish these grounds you'd almost have to be at our harbour. At Annandale, for example, they have other harbours very close to where they are, two or three miles across the river.

Fisheries committee  Darrell.

Fisheries committee  Sure, we make a good living. It's a decent living.

Fisheries committee  We've all been at various times.... Right now, this is the executive here. They brought me along because I talk a lot slower than everybody else does.

We've been given an opportunity to bring this to a committee that we hope can do something with it; otherwise, who are we going to talk to? I believe, Lewis, this sand thing is worse.

Fisheries committee  I know that storms come up a lot faster. I don't know how many thunderstorms I was caught in just this past year, during the summer, with not a lot of wind associated with them, but sometimes you do get a lot of wind associated with them.

Obviously when you get to so many weeks, it becomes an issue of whether it's profitable to pay annually. I know there are some people who pay the full annual fee in several harbours. It's kind of a graded scale.

Fisheries committee  Not per se, but anybody who has a buying stand pays a fee to have that stand on the wharf, regardless of what they....

Fisheries committee  I think there are 12 licensed buyers there.

Fisheries committee  They pay a fee to have a position on the wharf to upload.

Fisheries committee  The average is 40 to 45 feet.

Fisheries committee  That's our main fishery, yes.

Fisheries committee  Not there you wouldn't. You don't need one there.
