Bishops , Later known as Old Harbor fish could be real tough on price even knowing young Albert it didn,t make any difference.Once you dropped it off,you had to wait for the fulton fish market price even if the fish ended up in a cape restaurant.I had better luck at the co,op and then Dave Carns. I think the best i ever did was about 3.25 a lb. for smalls which meant one fish was about ten bucks and that was off cape.The biggest haul i know of was70 ,35lb bass=2500lbs at $2 a pound=$5,000 for one nights work. I think a ciggerett glow gave that spot away.Some fellas would use conventional gear and on hooking a fish,lock down the drag,turn around and march up the beach. Kindof like a tow truck,no sport at all.
