PASS CHRISTIAN, Miss. (AP) - Tired of seeing his profits wash
away, Tim Harrison is taking a different approach to selling
shrimp.
In May, the Pass Christian shrimper and his crew will take the
Bella Mia, a 62-foot double-rigger, on a long marketing trip.
They will start in Pass Christian, head to Mobile Bay, go up the
Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway and dock in Columbus, Miss. A coast
seafood supplier will deliver the shrimp to Columbus and Harrison
will sell the catch off his boat.
Harrison's boat, the Bella Mia, will be docked at the foot of
Main Street in downtown Columbus. Harrison and his crew plan to
stay there for about three months. Their goal is to sell 50,000
pounds of shrimp in 90 days.
