W. White Clay Pipe Found in 285 Feet Of Water, originally uploaded by captjoe06.

This white clay pipe came up in Dave Jewell’s gear when hauling lobster traps in 285 feet of water. It has an inscription that says W. White on it. Video at 9:00AM
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?

Whack Whack Whack. When the blade comes down into the flesh and cartilage of the swordfish it makes a sound like a thud. It usually takes a couple of whacks to lop off the preferred size for the bait bag.

Sam operates his lobster operation as a solo act.
He gathers whatever fish gurry he can find and then pulls his truck loaded with the totes of gurry down to his parking spot at the State Fish Pier. He parks and then heads down the ramp to warm up his boats’ engine. Then he heads back up the ramp and around to his truck that has the fish gurry on it which he will pull over to the loading boom (in the picture). He parks the truck there with the totes of gurry and then walks back around and down the ramp to his warmed up boat and then pulls the boat up to the dock where the loading boom is. He gets off the boat, climbs up the ladder and hooks up the totes of gurry to lower down on his boat. The boom swings out over his boat and once the bait is aboard his boat he then hops in his truck and parks it in the State Fish Pier parking lot. Then he climbs down the ladder and heads out lobstering with his bait aboard.
Sounds confusing right? It’s a lot of work.
