Heading Out In The Dark And Cold

Terrible light for this video but that’s part of the point.

It was 14 degrees and ice was forming in the inner harbor yesterday as the Allison Carol headed out for a day of lobstering.  All while most folks are still deep in REM sleep.

Ice In The Harbor- Yuck!

It’s way too early to have ice in the harbor.  Here we are lowering bait onto Pete Mondello’s Allison Carol.  Video coming tomorrow morning.

Notice all the tanks and gear stacked up on the setting table on the stern.  That is because the boat is about to receive a fresh coat of paint.  Tune in at 1:00PM for the video with Pete talking about the finished results.

Peter Mondello Making A New Setting Table

Here’s Pete Mondello and Billy working on a new setting table for the Allison Carol.

When Pete hauls his ten pot trawls he will stack the pots along that setting table after they have been re-baited and then he will set the traps off the back of this “setting table”

Captain Peter Mondello of the F/V Allison Carol told me this morning that he will now be doing fishing charters.

I don’t know what he will be charging, have nothing to gain financially if you book a charter through him.

What I do know however is that you won’t find a more relaxed, knowledgeable, fun loving skipper to put you on fish. If you want a hoity toity white glove fishing experience this probably isn’t the charter for you. But if you want to catch fish and plenty of them while having a great time with a really funny skipper that has been commercial fishing longer than I have been alive, then do yourself a favor and contact Pete.

He can be contacted
