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. |

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. |

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