There’s an article in today’s paper about a fisherman, Craig Pendleton a 3rd generation fisherman, and his decision to get out of fishing entirely.
Pendleton, 48, is trying to sell his boat, and last month started taking classes toward a business degree at Husson University in South Portland. For the third-generation fisherman, it is more than a career change. It’s the end of a way of life and a family heritage.
“I’m the last Pendleton to fish out of Camp Ellis,” he said. “I held out for as long as I could.”
I was down in Saco buying 15lbs of Craig’s shrimp on Friday. Craig has allowed me to post some pics of shrimp harvesting on my continuing coverage of Maine’s shrimp fishery here:
