Just Some Of The Things A Commercial Fisherman Might Get At Rose’s Marine Shop
Lobster trap rope, flag markers, gaffs, bait bags, buoys.
Rose’s Marine Shop, originally uploaded by captjoe06.
The bait bags that come on a spool like the green ones above arrive in one long tube of mesh. The lobstermen cut the desired length, bunch up an end and then clamp it to make a mesh-like purse. Then they stuff the herring or pogies in the bags and set them in the lobster traps.
- Orange twine pre-made bait bags
The orange twine pre-made bait bags shown above are much more heavy duty than the green plastic bait bags but are also way more expensive. In the winter when the seals show up many lobstermen will switch over to the orange heavy duty bait bags because the seals rip the green ones right out of the traps to get the bait inside. The orange bait bags hold up much better against the PITA seals.

Beautiful Industry- Miss Merideth Lobster Buoys
Here’s a bunch of Matt Cooney’s lobster buoys.
Matt has a very distinct pattern for his buoys. No one would mistake his buoy for their own because it is so unique. Every so often a couple of lobstermen have very similar color markings on their buoys which can make things confusing when they are fishing the same areas.

The Dog and I
Lobstermen are starting to gear up for the coming season. They go through the rope and take out knots. They clean and repair the traps. They paint buoys. It’s coming. As the water warms the lobsters will be on the move and our lobstermen will be ready to catch em.

Sean Secures The Bait Before Heading Out
The boys didn’t seem to happy to be going out this morning. With the cold water temperatures the catches fall off dramatically. Tough to get motivated when you know you’re not going to make a whole lot of dough.

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.

Looks like Sean decided to wear Oilskins today instead of just his boxer shorts while setting gear in rough seas.
