Weird, I click the link, get 2 seconds of your stern/wake then it jumps to another video. Good luck with the bugs, I hope you have a davit, they get heavy and then the $5.99lb supermarket price looks so good.

That’s it! LOL Pots and wake....

I know! $$$$
Old friend , com lobster guy gave me some old pots, by the time I fixed em up $$$, could’ve bought a bushel full LOL

I’ll see how it goes.....

Thats funny. The motor looked to be running good. My experience was that my traps were loved by eggers and the build up of weeds on them happened fast, mung and traps makes for a real heavy mess.

If I didn't have the hydroslave and davit/block I probably wouldn't bother hauling traps on my boat.

It is allot of fun to do with friends and a few beers to have a laugh. I enjoy pulling the pots more than eating lobster.

You pull em, I’ll eat um.....:hihi:

same thing happened to me.

I think Guppy has a good feel for today’s attention span, that little clip is the show.

What do u guys want ? A 30 minute documentary,,, ;-)

:) :) :) :)

Hey I'd take a 30 minute documentary, I love hauling pots, don't know why, but I do. How many pots are you running?

My 12 year-old and I are friendly with a commercial lobsterman in P-Town, he takes my son and I out every year. He always says that his break-even day is coming back with a pound of marketable lobster for every trap he hauls. He texted me, said that last week, in 5 days, he brought back over 9,000 pounds of lobster, one of his best weeks ever.

I was given 4 and set 4.... May add to it next year,,,
It’ll be an 8 day soak by the time I get back to them if they’re still there... LOL

9000! Hard to believe

Government intervention and regulation in the form of V-notching the tails of females is paying off.

Are you in Mass? WHat's the recreational limit? And how long would you like to soak them?

Yes
10 pots 15 bugs a day (I’ll be happy with one :-) )
Depends on bait and weather,,, I put a half bluefish in each, they stopped fishing a week ago... :-(

My buddies son runs the boat now, has the 800 pots fishin.....

And the decimation of the cod stock also me thinks.....
Can’t wait for my first lobstah roll... :-)

Do you have a hauler, or doing it by hand? May I ask what kind of boat you have? You can fit all 10 pots safely in the deck?

I'm VERY interested in recreational lobstering when I retire.
