It certainly wasn't the crowd they got back in December but lobster fishermen appeared happy with the reception on Long Wharf.
They tied their vessels to the dock and sold the crustaceans for six dollars a pound. John Mcdade tells CHSJ News, there were a few things not playing in their favor like having it on the same day as an event at New River Beach.
The other chip stacked against them is two supermarkets in Greater Saint John selling lobster almost 30 cents cheaper a pound but McDade is hoping those who enjoy lobster will see the benefit of getting it fresh out of the water.

Accident Victim Calls For A Third Lane
A Rothesay woman involved in the accident early Friday morning on the McKay Highway is disputing Mayor Ivan Courts call to stop work on a third lane for the area.
Traffic came to a stand still when Patricia Burnett's vehicle was hit by a transport truck and started spinning out of control, ran through the median and almost crashed into the east-bound lane of traffic.
Burnett tells CHSJ News, safety is and should be the only thought behind a third lane.
Banged up and bruised, Burnett says she is going to be fine but the RCMP Officer that reported to the accident says she is lucky to be alive.
Mayor Court says he will present Fredericton with a letter soon on his opposition to the construction of a third lane on the MacKay Highway.

Police Conference Coming To Saint John
The Canadian Association of Police Boards is holding their national conference in the Port City this August.
Christopher WaldSchutz, Chairman of the Board of Police Commissioners says its a big plus for Saint John to show the tools the force uses on a daily basis including intelligence led policing.
Mayor Ivan Court says the city should make at least half a million dollars from having the conference here, just in hotel costs alone.
