Dillard Wilkerson was interviewed on August 22, 2008. This interview was very productive because it took place on the site of Mr. Sprinkle's net shop and footage of a shrimp net being constructed was filmed. Both men used to shrimp and own their own boats. However, both are retired from the shrimping industry because of high costs of maintaining a boat. The two spoke about the shrimping industry in the past and present, in addition to discussing the techniques and materials used in shrimp net making.

On August 22, 2008, Michael Stieber interviewed Rodney Lyons for the Preserving Oral Histories of Waterfront-Related Pursuits in Bayou La Batre project. Rodney Lyons was born and raised in Bayou La Batre, Alabama, and his family has been deeply involved in the seafood industry for generations. His grandfathers were commercial fishermen, and his family members have participated in nearly every aspect of the seafood trade, from fishing and crabbing to dealing with seafood and making nets.
