Curt Brown filmed one of his lobster traps going into the water using a Flip camera and an underwater housing. In this video you can see the bait, a bluefish, drawing up lobsters and other animals.

Question From Reader Bernie- All Day Breakfast?

I’m not exactly sure, does anyone know the answer to reader Bernie’s question?-

Don’t know if you’ve answered this before, but is there any place around these parts that serves breakfast all day?

Lobster Eye View – Inside A Lobster Trap Up Close And Personal

See the plastic tags along the top of the trap?  Those are trap tags.  They are issued by the government each year and it is a way to enforce the trap limit each lobsterman can fish.  Each year each lobsterman gets their allotment of trap tags and every trap must have one in it.  If the enforcement agent pulls up a lobsterman’s gear and it doesn’t have a trap tag it can result in a fine.

Off Island Red Sox Food

At least once a year one has to drive over the bridge and usually it’s a Red Sox game that will coax you over. That might not be a good time to go to Jerry Remy’s Grill because it will be packed. If you pay 500 dollars you can get right in before a game. Can you believe these annual passes are sold out? Crazy. But if you don’t go to the game it might be the time. Plenty of huge flat screens in the bar. Then there is the Remy Burger.

I forgot to take a picture until I was half way through.

Woah, a little mangled. Two bites and I had to switch to knife and fork as it was falling apart.

This bacon cheeseburger with a cajun kind of sauce is served on fried dough. If the hamburger won’t kill you the dough will. If you order it they also give you a massive amount of tasty fries without telling you. My advice, unless you have won a man versus food contest recently get two if not three people in on it. Or don’t eat the bun but the fried dough is really good.

When the World Cup is on this summer I might be in here at 6AM watching it live from South Africa. At least the weekday games.

once the lobster travels up through the head and drops into the parlor- it’s game over.
