Me So Horny
See the spikes on the nose of this lobster? Notice how they are sort of dull? Well that’s because this particular lobster is an old shell hard lobster that hasn’t shed in a while.
The newly molted and new-shell lobsters have razor sharp points (because they have not been honed down yet) that love to find the underneath part of your fingernails when you are grading lobsters without gloves on. It hurts like a motherf^cker when one of those spikes jams up under your nail, believe me.

Pablocito Fishing
Pablo just loves to fish. Even when he doesn’t catch anything he just loves to hang out at the dock and toss his hand line in the water. He doesn’t take his time to hide the hook inside the bait to try to fool the stripers, he just sticks it right through the meat of the bait and tosses it over and waits, and waits and waits.
God bless him.

Beautiful Industry- Take Out Boom at Captain Joe’s
I was up on the roof yesterday looking for leaks and thought this made an interesting shot.
This is the take out boom which swings out over the boats to hoist the catch up over the rail and onto our dock.
Looking down you can see Frankie and George Hardy on the front of the pier waiting for boats to come in.

CJ Morgante- Day Two Aboard The Lady J
If you’ve been following along you know that CJ Morgante, Major League Soccer Referee asked for the real Lobsterman experience. Frank set him up on three different boats to go lobstering in three days. That’s pretty cool if you ask me for a boy from Pennsylvania with no ties to Gloucester to just roll up here and hop aboard the boats and get to it.
Day Two- Aboard The Lady J with Captain Dave Jewell and mate Goulart.

Joe Mondello Readies The Boat To Go Lobstering
You see how the traps are all set along the outside rail of the boat? Joe is going to set out some gear today. This is a ten pot trawl and all those traps are connected by a ground line with buoys at each end to mark where the traps are set in the ocean so when he goes back out he can find them by looking for his specially painted buoys.

Here Scotty Horne pulls away from the dock with two of his sons after a day of lobstering. Not sure if you can make it out but his little one is sitting up on the dash just to Scotty’s left.
