I Might Have to Stop Fishing (The Diesel Crisis) | Christian LaMontagne

The diesel crisis has become so great that many fishermen are changing the way they fish to reduce fuel consumption. In some cases, they stop going altogether.

In this video, I sit down aboard my lobster boat to have a candid discussion about the current state of things and how the $6 diesel price is impacting my small business. Our margin, which was already razor thin, has been completely erased and I am choosing not to fish as frequently until things change.
