Four weeks into the season in Canada's largest lobster fishing district, veteran fisherman Roger Leblanc speculates it won't be the boom year southwestern Nova Scotia enjoyed last season.
"Right now we're down almost 40 per cent or 50 per cent less than last year," said Leblanc as he prepared to haul in his traps and begin the dark, chilly voyage home to Meteghan Harbour on Tuesday.
Last year might have been the best season in a decade, with landings up and prices peaking at $6 per pound. But this year, Leblanc said he's getting a dollar less than that, $5 per pound.
"If you're just here for the money, well it's not a good year to be in it," Leblanc said.
