BILOXI, Miss. (WLOX) - The 2023 Shrimp Season is coming to a close for in-shore commercial fishermen. WLOX News has followed the season closely and has reported on the rough shape of commercial shrimp fishing. Monday, those shrimpers echoed their frustrations and struggles.
“When the season is good, we bring in around 20 to 30 [thousand] pounds a week,” said Victor Le, a deckhand on the Captain Can. “We have to sell all of it to get a little profit margin, but not as much as it used to be.”
