Federal regulations cut the season back, then cut it it again and again. While huge foreign owned "factory ship" trawlers tear up the bottom, local family owned, 3rd and 4th generation fishermen are not allowed squeak out a living working their small boats.


A once thriving fishing village slowly bleeds to death - and the rust never sleeps.

Sad but very true everywhere. Land and sea (Allen Jackson's "Little Man" is a tribute to that) . The coastal towns one the east and west coast are "nicer" to shoot IMHO but we've got some pretty cool places to shoot here in TX
