A new association consisting of South Shore and area fishermen is picking up steam and looking for support. The group - consisting of approximately 150 fishermen - formed earlier this month in a bid to get better prices for lobster. Retired fisherman James Mood is leading the charge for new association. Mood says the group will hold meetings this week in Yarmouth and Shelburne. He says the meetings are open to everyone and is encouraging area residents to rally behind the new association. Mood says beginning midnight on Tuesday, fishermen will hold their catch until they get at least $5.50 per pound of lobster. The association has yet to officially select a name.
