half of the spring values for the winter season) 

 are about 754,000 fishermen fishing about 

 2,749,000 hours. Fishing effort during the 

 spring, sunrimer, and fall is about equal, but 

 is reduced in the winter to about half the 

 value for the other seasons. Greatest fishing 

 effort was expended during July and August. 

 However, peak catches occurred in March, 

 April, and Septennber. 



Bait Fishery 



Shrinnp is one of the principal baits used b> 

 sport fishernnen, and we estimate that about 

 8 nnillion live shrimp, weighing about 90,000 

 pounds and selling for about $200,000, are 

 sold annually by bait dealers alone. Many 

 fishernnen secure their own live shrimp with 

 pushnets, dip nets, and cast nets.
