Classy!

I don’t know if it’s the McDonalds color scheme, the Playboy Charters name emblazoned on the stern or the addition of the phone number, but this might just be the classiest operation in town.

Marbled Lobster Landed By Toby Burnham Aboard The Jupiter II

I took this picture juxtaposed against a bunch of regular lobsters so you could see just how different they are.   Toby Burnham on the Jupiter II caught this marbled lobster a couple years ago and landed it at our dock.

Lobsterman Truck Series- Harrison Golden’s Dodge Pick Up

Here is Harrison Golden and his Dodge pick up truck.  It’s the mini version which is probably all that 90% of Gloucester Lobstermen need.  Most Gloucester guys pull up to the dock to put their bait aboard so they don’t need to lug a ridiculous amount in the back of a truck.  Here Harrison is picking up a box of bait in his truck however because he is going to bait his traps that have been in storage during the winter.  He will bait them on shore and then load them onto the boat.  Once he has all his lobster gear set he will pull up to the dock to pick up his bait like most everyone else.

Would you look at the mitts on this guy?
