NS whitetail Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 Today was an awesome day for setting our lobster traps. Light winds, calm seas and mild temps Everything went along just great Now to get up at 2 am in the morning and go see what is in them -- can't wait handsome me over half the traps unloaded ( my Dad sitting up on top) the last 14 traps of 375 to go ( we have 14 traps in a string ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeramie Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 Re: everything went smooth (some pics) Man, youre killing me! Im going to have to buy some lobster now. Youre very lucky to have that access to them! Btw, im glad things went good. Im sure that can make for some very dangerous fishing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newarcher Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 Re: everything went smooth (some pics) Good luck and be safe....... Is this a labor of love or is there real money in lobstering? From that Discovery show about Crab fishermen, it appears that there is money in that.

lil hunter Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 Re: everything went smooth (some pics) I'm confused, you say you have 14 together on each string, and theres a total of 375 traps, how is this possible? lol Anyways, glad everything went well for you.
