The buggers stand there and HAND count them.
Our guy that catches them sometimes mis-judges
by 15-20 fish, and some of them think you are
trying to pull something over on them. I want
something that is within say 5 fish of what I
say are in there, I would also rather be over
5 fish than under. They may short you but they
DO NOT want to be shorted. We tried to get 30
cents a fish and they fight or refuse to purchase
so we are stuck with 25 cents a fish. Most of them
are getting 50 cents a fish to the public. These
are pinfish and pigfish. Also pinfish will be
anywhere from 50 grams to 150 grams, so there is
quite a bit of variation in weight. I do not
want to give away too many either. The other idea
with a counter is to be able to rapidly count
out a requested number and get a printout with
price on it, if it is accurate afte a while they
will quite the hand count stupidity and just take
the load we deliver.
Keep the ideas coming folks, this could be fun.
