Here’s a before and after picture of Tuffy after a day of lobstering.  We just finished lowering bait down onto his boat The Degelyse and took this picture.  Note the how clean his white shirt is in the before picture.

The reason his shirt is all dirty particularly in that spot under his arm is because that is where his oilskins don’t cover his shirt and the line from the pot trawls come up over the rails and with it sling mud and stuff all over the place as it comes through the hauling block.

You may remember Nate as one of the two insane backmen aboard Tuffy’s Degelyse.  Well Nate went and got himself a new Mohawk.  Nice!

Tuffy and Nate Prepare To Offload a Pile Of Lobster Gear

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Here the boys are getting ready to offload a pile of lobster traps.  The cold water temperature haas made the lobstering activity slow down to a crawl and the time will be better spent fixing broken gear and making repairs than going out to catch very few lobsters this time  of year.  When the last load of traps comes in it is a big relief for lobstermen.  It’s the end of another season and hopefully they’ve made enough to carry them through the winter.
