Lobster fishermen in Shelburne County who continue to catch -- despite a strike -- were met with hostility in Shag Harbour today. A group of striking lobster fishermen were at the wharf trying to stop their colleagues from going out on the water for a second day. At least four boats were out in the water early yesterday morning. Last week the Professional Lobster Fishermen's Association called for a strike to force buyers to pay at least $5.50 a pound for their catch. They say a price less than that would make it difficult for them to make a profit. However some fisherman are content with getting $5 a pound. This morning dozens of fishermen who support the strike arrived at the Shelburne County wharf to argue for an expanded strike.
