Experimental Plastic Hauling Plates
Experimantal Plastic Hauling Plates, originally uploaded by captjoe06.
This is a picture of one half of a set of new experimental plastic hauling plates. They come from a government grant that paid to develop them.
The thinking behind the new experimental plastic hauling plates is that they will have less friction on the rope to make the rope last longer. The rope that the lobstermen use is a by-product of oil and it’s cost has gone way up with everything else. By using the new plates they hope they will get a longer life out of the rope and reduce costs.
Right now only a couple of these have been distributed to my lobstermen to see if there are any design flaws. They potentially could be too slippery and not haul the gear properly. They might have too much grip, they might be too flexible.
What I know is that lobstermen are creatures of habit and it will have to work very similarly to what they currently use or the idea will be an exercise in futility, but if they do work and can save them money it would be worthwhile.

This is what all the lobster boats use today. The rope goes in between those two discs and the pressure as it goes into the groove created between the discs holds it in place. That is the way the traps get hauled up from the bottom of the ocean floor.

Check It- Cape Pond Ice
If you haven’t Chickity Checked out The Cape Pond Ice website, you’re missing some pretty good stuff.
There is a ton of old photos, history, cool gear to purchase as gifts or for yourself, and the whole thing is doneusing a pretty clean interface. For as much info as they have packed in there its pretty easy to navigate.
I learn something new just about every time I visit. For example just today I learned that they give tours and not just of it’s facility, they give tours around the waterfront.
Taking a page from The Boston Red Sox they are carrying pink logo gear for the ladies. It seems as fish landings dwindle due to govt regulations, the folks over at Cape Pond have seen the need to diversify into merchandising. Way to go.
Here is a link to check out their fantastic website- Cape Pond Ice

Here is part of an email she sent-
“I don’t know where to begin, I came across your website while I was writing a book about my experience in the 2007 Schooner Festival. I signed up and absolutely love what you do. Every morning I can’t wait to see what’s there. My fiancee and I fell in love with Gloucester and come there to visit as often as we can. We are from XXXXXX, New York, a similar town like Gloucester. Fishing and all sorts familiar thing like Gloucester. I hope some day we will have a home there.”
Thanks for sharing Christine. It’s emails and comments like this that make the blog worth doing!
