A couple of months ago I went lobstering with my Sister and Brother in law, fun stuff! It’s fun but it’s back breaking work!
New guy gets to deal with the bait:
Hosts:
Leaving the harbor heading up the Sheepscot River:
Hauling up the first trap:
Anything in there?
Whipping that line off the davit:
I’ll get that bait…
Mmmm more bait:
Let me get that bait in there:
The work station, wheel and hauler:
Juvenile with one claw, not a keeper:
Loudspeaker: “throw the scraps in the water or we’ll crap on your boat”:
Up river above the railroad trestle:
Lobster buoys:
Hauling more traps. I’ll get the bait:
A little rain:
Train going by…in the rain…
Too much rain, heading home:
For all that, dinner of steamed clams, corn on the cob, pasta salad. What was so funny?
More clams, corn, salad. Dog in the window:
Smile everyone! Dog under the table:
Mmmmm, here it is. This is what came out of the trap:
This is a normal “keeper” next to a ginormous lobster that is over the legal size limit:
Picture doesn’t do it justice but this lobster is huge, had to throw it back:
Bottom left is the normal 1 1/4 pound lobster…
More boat updates in the next couple of days.
