Social media like Facebook ruined this place I think. I even gave up fb last March , too much drama on there. I kind of miss the connection I had with people there but I don’t miss the drama.

The world is a changing for sure. I’m 51 , the 80s were the best years of my life ?

We have very few tangles. We haul 27 trawls each day we are out and very seldom does the rope get snarled up.

This is some of what we deal with. 4 am pitch black , freezing cold and a blinding blizzard and 25 miles from the nearest piece of land on a 50 foot long boat. Our boat is 50 feet long and 25 feet across the stern. ( big blue one on the outside in pic ). We have all been trained to deal with emergencies. We have submersion / survival suits for each of us on board , we have a 6 man inflatable life raft and a distress button on our VHF, if it is pressed it automatically sends our location via satellite right to the Canadian Coast Guard Rescue Centre. I guess to do this job you pretty much can’t have any fear of the ocean, there are so many things that can go wrong and you are a long way from help. IMG_5397.MOV

Lol ya Martin , we spend some pretty nasty days on the Atlantic. Being a commercial fisherman is about the same as making a living from the land like you do, nothing comes easy ?

Here is a couple of videos of what I do in brief. The guy boarding the trap is a guy we hire for a few weeks to help out the other is my brother. The weight you see weighs 100 lbs ,we have 14 traps in each string with a weight on each end , it helps to keep the string of traps from moving on bottom in rough seas. Our traps weigh around 80 lbs each. We are allowed to fish 375 traps. Our season opened on November 26 , the price started at $8.25 per lb and we are now getting $9.25 per lb. We are having a really good season so far , it closes on May 31. Video of hauling then one of shooting the traps back in the ocean. IMG_5380.MOV IMG_5381.MOV

I hope this new year is a great one for everyone ?

Right back at you. MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE !!!

So sorry to hear this. I wish you and your family all the best in this sad time. May God bless you all.

Hope your wife is ok. I wish her and you all the best. Take care my friend.

Bullying is a terrible thing for sure. I also have a hard time wrapping my head around this “ cyber bullying “ thing. My theory is, if someone is bullying you on a certain website like fb or whatever, STAY OFF OF IT.

Awesome, congrats everyone. Great season. Proud to be part of it all ?

Thanks , for sure. Our season opens this coming Monday, then I’ll go from the woods to pounding the Atlantic Ocean lol. Been trying to kill big bucks and now I’ll be going to make big bucks ?

Hey guys , I finally got one lol. I dropped a 6 pointer this morning. I’ll get the entry pic on in a day or two.

I’d like to know how much Truex tire changer got paid to made that unbelievable screw up lol. No doubt about it Truex would have been champ if that did not happen. Mistakes do happen but holy poop lol they shouldn’t with that on the line.

Nice buck , congrats. I’m home now but got three more days of hunting next week before our lobster season opens on the 25. I’ll try my best lol

Good luck and congrats No luck here yet but headed back to camp tomorrow for three days then I’ll be headed back next week for a couple to hunt , clean up camp and drain the water off and take water pump out of the camp for the winter. My time is getting shorter , our commercial lobster season opens on November 25, so I’ll be out grinding on the Atlantic Ocean from that day on.

Good luck ol buddy. Tag out on a nice one and fill the freezer. We want pics. Lol

That’s awesome. It’s a great feeling to get youth involved and spending quality time with them. ?
