Lobster Season officially opened today with fishermen heading out as early as possible to catch the most lobster on the first day. But the rainy day definitely posed a problem for the fishermen, making the waters murky and decreasing visibility, and making the lobsters run away for shelter. At only $16 per pound for lobster tails at the co-operative, fishermen are looking elsewhere to get top dollar for the prized lobster tails.
A quick check at the fishing Caribena co-operative revealed the official count was very low – only about 150lbs was recorded at the end of the first day.
Some resorts are shelling out about $25 per pound of lobster tail. Lobster season runs from June 15 to October 15th, 2009!
