Spotted Lobster

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Mark Ring caught this spotted lobster yesterday.  We rarely get them. Probably 2-3 a year with this type of markings.  Less often than a blue one or albino one.  If anyone wants to come take a peek at it or photograph it I’ll leave it in the tank through the weekend.  Bring the kids down, they love this kind of stuff and I’ll even throw in a demonstration on how you can tell the difference between a male and female lobster.  You might even get to see a lobster boat get unloaded.

Lobsterman Truck Series- Harrison Golden’s Dodge Pick Up

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

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.

Lobster Season

In a small fishing village, a Newfoundlander was walking up the wharf carrying two at-least-three-pound live lobsters, one in each hand.

It was three weeks after the season closed!

Whom should he meet at the end of the wharf …….

It’s a knit dress.  I’m thinking our buddy Kat Valentine could come up with a pattern for it and clean up.  Check out Kat’s Knitting Blog by clicking this text-

Below the hauling station aboard Johnny “Doc” Herrick’s Dog & I is another example of the hydraulic control which operates the lobster boat’s pot hauler.

You don’t suppose these controls have seen their fair share of use do you?

Albino Lobster

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Last summer Toby on the Jupiter II brought in a lobster that was yellow in pigmentation, I’ve never in my 33 years down the dock seen a completely white albino lobster.  I’ve seen half white ones and documented them in photographs, half blue ones and documented them, but never a completely white one.

Look for the video tomorrow morning.

Thanks goes to Paul Movali for pointing out to me.  Paul’s a good egg.
