I’m talking about a modern day gold rush, where people are making an absolute fortune. It’s the most valuable fishery you’ve never heard of and it’s happening right here in Bangor, Maine. Starting late this month (march), hundreds of fisherman will come to this area to catch elvers. When this first began it was known as a local secret. It was done in the dead of night and some people accumulated a small fortune without a soul knowing about their business. A man had his successful spot on the banks of the penobscot river and nobody bothered him. The ambitious were doing very well; nobody cared. Then the price soared and everything changed. Now everyone who can fish wants a piece of the action. They come from all around.
It seems the Asians have an insatiable hunger for these small slithering sea creatures, thus the demand keeps going up, while prices continue to surge. Thousands of dollars paid out for a single pound. Talented fisherman can easily make hundreds of thousands of dollars in a single season with the right knowledge and equipment. One guy said he was frustrated that he didn’t have a better camera with him when a ribbon of elvers showed up. He could have dropped a dip net off the side of his boat and had twenty pounds in a second, $40,000 in literally a second. The season is getting ready to start again and hundreds, if not thousands will make it rich on the banks of the penobscot river. It’s going to be another great year for Bangor, Maine.
That being said, what’s the single best pheromone product or mix for getting the best price at the market? As a buyer or seller. Now that A314 is gone can a IG/IH/IS combination be a feasible alternative? Advice please. Many thanks in advance.
