Fishing gear at Milk Island. Milk Island’s a cormorant and blackback seagull nesting ground. Lots of of fishing gear washes up on its lengthy gravel bar running north towards Rockport. By August adult blackbacks start cannibalizing their young – grabbing fledglings by the neck and drowning them, dragging them ashore to pull them apart.
The lobster gear uses non-floating line, required to prevent whale entanglement and a source of large capital outlay for local lobstermen.
Shot with a home-made OliviaTech jib and a cheap $10 wide-angle lens. The guy who presents the OliviaTech jib is sort of a goofball, but I like his presentation because it leaves no doubt about how to build the jib for about $40.

Would have loved to see more of the jib shoot. Who wants to make one for me? I don’t have the equipment or patienceI to build one. have one of my dads paintings with your name on it.
