Tools Of The Trade- The Lobster Banding Tray Aboard The Degelyse

Lobster bands and banding tool.  As the traps come up from the ocean floor, hopefully full of lobsters the lobsters that need to be gauged for size get tossed into the slots and then measured and the ones that are legal sized get banded and thrown into the holding tank til they get in to offload.

Video- The Final Trap Hits The Dock From the 2011 Lobstering Season Aboard The Degelyse

The Final Load

There’s nothing quite like that feeling when the last load of lobster gear comes out of the water for the season.

A long grinding year of hard core lobstering comes to an end and the boys enjoy the fruits of their labor.

It was that day today for the crew of the Degelyse.
