How do you know it’s low tide? Look at the pilings and how far they stick out of the water.

In this picture you can see the juvenile lobster measures only 4 inches long. Thanks Suzie for sharing the picture. Suzie is going to work on her very own blog (with some encouragement from you know who). i think she’ll quickly develop a huge following. between her art and experiences fishing, slime eeling and lobstering she’s got lots of stories to tell.

Check out this photo from Suzie Byrd of a juvenile lobster next to a regular sized one. Pretty cool, huh?

What Up Homie?, originally uploaded by captjoe06.
OK, here’s the story behind this picture.
Susie Byrd has been fishing out of Gloucester for 3 years now. She has been one of the most consistent backmen on our lobsterboats and has been doing a great job of showing up on time and pushing her skipper Johnny “Doc” Herrick to fish harder.
Yesterday she had a little setback.
She was a no show for the first time. Eventually she got down to the boat and they got the day in fishing but there was no way I was going to let her off easy.
This morning in the office with all the boys I gave her an option. She could hold up the sign saying “Susie Byrd Strike Count 1” and let me take the picture or I would ride her about being a no show after I’ve been singer her praises to anyone who would listen about how great she has been as far as reliability and work ethic.
She chose to pose for the picture.

Here’s Johnny “Doc” Herrick in the office.
Note what appears to be a halo above his head?
It doesn’t belong there, LOL!

Looks like the Dog & I is winning by a nose.
If I cropped the bottom of that photo off you would never know they aren’t in the water.
