After a long winter its time to start checking the gear again......new traps, old traps rerigged, gear work, etc....always something do do to keep the gear fishing......I'm looking foward to a good year of lobstering......I'm trying a new gizmo this year.....HOOP GATES!!!.....some of my traps are rigged with hoop heads made out of shrimp trawl mesh......they fish well but the lobsters can find their way back out of the trap on the long soak...... the hoop gates are one way doors that let the lobsters get into the parlour but cannot get back out.....comm. friends who use them say good things about them.....we will see......
