tuna buyers

Just head a story about someone returning from Georges with 3 fish all of which returned $0 after expenses.

For some reason the George's fish don't tend to have the premo fat content that the inshore fish do. Peculiar, as they're generally chowing on herring, and can obviously swim great distances in a day, so it's not like they're a completely different stock. But a Georges fish tends to get about $4-8/lb, while the inshore fish like FR said have been steadily netting about $15-25. Most I've heard of so far was a 519 that got $26/lb.

Prices from Georges have not been that great....tuna feeding on scallop guts meaning very low quality....could be old news a boat from here a few weeks ago had 3 fish and got 3 bucks a poundmost boats from here have stopped going to georges

buyers pretty much told everyone to stop going.
