I don’t always know what I’m shooting, but my eye says, “Hit the button and don’t ask questions!”. So that’s what I do. (And then I ask!)

Master Bait and Tackle
Took this shot while driving back from the Sox game.
I’m glad to see they only sell bait. I don’t think I’d be buying any seafood from a place called MASTER BAIT SEAFOOD. 🙂

Industrial Crab Cooker- Kelly’s Fish House Naples Fl
They can cook up to 500 pounds of crab claws in this industrial cooker. At first I thought they cooked the entire crab but they rip the claws off and cook only the claws and toss the crab back to the ocean to regenerate new claws. A half ton winch lowers and raises the boiling container out of the vat.
Video coming up tonight at 5:00PM

Kely’s Fish House, Naples, Fla
Whenever I go on vacation I try to get down to the commercial docks to talk to fishermen or fish dealers. Kelly’s Fish House is just down the street from my parents crib so I swing by there when I’m in Naples to see what’s up.
Here is Keith working. I got a couple interviews to share with you guys from Kelly’s to share with you once I edit them.
This is a conveyor that boats pull up to and offload their catch. There is only a three foot tide in Naples so they don’t have the much larger swings in tide like our 9-10 foot tides in Gloucester. I was shocked that they don’t have a take out boom but they don’t need it. The conveyor works out just fine for them.

Crab Traps, Naples Fl
Crab traps are very similar to lobster traps but are square shaped instead of rectangular. They also have the openings on the top of the trap and do not have knitted heads like a lobster trap.

Many Gloucester fishermen have fished out of Naples at one time or another, mostly longlining for swordfish back in the day. Mark Ring has a few great stories he tells from his days fishing in this port, none of which I can repeat here.

Crab Traps, Naples Florida
They pour cement in the bottom of the crab traps so they will land bottom first once set off the boat. This way they will fish properly. Very few lobstermen pour cement in the bottom of lobster traps but I have seen it here and there. The prefered method of weighting a lobster trap is with bricks. This is another difference between lobster traps and crab traps.

Naples Longliner Donna Marie Longline Set Up
The heavy monofilament line is wrapped around the spool. It goes up and through the blocks and out the stern of the boat with clips of mono and individual hooks on them. Hopefully each hook has a fish on it!

Movie – “One More Dead Fish”
ONE MORE DEAD FISH
The Cape Ann Community Cinema
267 East Main Street
Gloucester, MA 01930
978/282-1988
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 11 @ 7:15PM
Allen and Stefan Forbes’s “One More Dead Fish” tells the heartwrenching story of environmentally-friendly handline fishermen fighting to survive in a rapidly globalizing industry. In fascinating interviews with local fishermen, government officials, biologists, and industry CEO’s, we learn about complex regulatory, legislative, and environmental issues. This film grounds the viewer in a clear historical context as it explains one of the world’s great environmental disasters, the destruction of the Grand Banks fisheries. And in examining the often Orwellian language of the multinational fishing industry, “One More Dead Fish” explores the media’s failure to report on the true environmental costs of globalization. This film points the way toward saving the world’s fisheries before it’s too late.
Join Joe and Helen Garland and Ron Gilson after the film for what is sure to be an impassioned discussion on the state of the fishing industry.

The Donna Marie- Naples Longliner
Other than the obvious hauling and setting from the stern of the boat can any of our commercial fishermen readers comment on any other differences between how they longline out of Naples versus Gloucester?

Longlining explained aboard the Donna Marie. For any commercial longliners that watch the video feel free to jump in and correct any of my mistakes from the video. I’m not a fisherman but would like this to be as acuurate as possible. Just leave a comment below the video if you would.
