Welcome back to the Lobster Fishing story. Here is a picture of Chad hauling up a lobster trap onto the boat, followed by a picture of Chad and Jeremy sorting out the lobsters caught..
Out of all the lobsters caught in the first bunch of traps, only one was big enough to keep, you can see it nicely banded in the photo below. All the other lobsters had to be thrown back out in the water.
A few hours later they managed to catch a few more lobsters to keep ...
Along the way, there were other sea creatures that had been caught in the lobster traps:
Hmm... Cod... Nice Fish
Little Crab :)
Have no idea what that is?
As we went lobster fishing only two days before the last day of lobster fishing season, the fishermen wanted to bring half of their lobster traps back with them to harbour so that on the last day they wouldn't have as many lobster traps to bring back. So half way during the day, they started to pile up the lobster traps that were hauled up onto the boat instead of putting them back into the water with new bait. Most of those traps still had remains of the old bait inside them so the fishermen would throw the remains of the old bait back out into the water. This would attract the seagulls. That was so wonderful to see the seagulls fly so close to us. That really was amazing.
As it was pitch black when we had left the harbour really early that morning, we took photos of the harbour when we got back 12 hours later at 5pm.
I have one more group of photos to show you from this trip but again I can't seem to upload any more on this post, so I'll have to post the final lot soon and tell you about one embarrasing incident that happened to me on that boat.
TO BE CONTINUED...
