Bunkers, Menhaden, are used for crab and lobster bait. Recreational fishermen also use them for bait. Fishermen are getting eight cents a pound for these inedible fish.

About Me
- B.R.Lynch
- Maryland Eastern Shore, United States
- Author of Wet and Hungry: An Atlantic Fisherman's Life. Wet and Hungry tells the true adventures of commercial fishermen from the Mid-Atlantic states. Available from: www.authorsbookshop.com, www.writewordsinc.com, Amazon, and the author. 350 pages, 40 illustrations, $18.95 Currently partner in www.thenothingstore.com home of the unmighty dollar. Before I took up writing for fun and non-profit, I was a fine artist of realistic paintings in oils and acrylics. I painted the works on this blog. I've also scraped a living as an archetectural draftsman, sign painter and wood carver. You'll find what my daughter calls "mom's crazy stories" on this blog. Sad thing is, most of these stories are true. Comments welcome, esspecially ego-building flattery. Besides commercial fishing and art, I am interested in music, economics, history, politics, gardening, cats and other livestock, esspecially horses.
