A beautiful day on the boat with Capt. John, doing some traditional Maine lobstering, with a unique underwater perspective of lobster traps being hauled.....I highly suggest full screen and HD viewing.

Forgot to mention. In 1973 (I was 5) the family went on a ride-along, remember it like it was yesterday. and still got the pics. Can't imagine that Ol' Captain is still with us today! I remember the trap buoy was also displayed on the roof of the wheelhouse for all to see. That way other fishermen knew who to shoot when crooked watermen were pulling traps that weren't theirs! LOL! Great vid, bought back many memories. Last few years I've been visiting family and raking clams in Chesapeke Bay in waist deep water.....man is that fun. And can be quite tiring!

Very nice video. Explain please how long time the traps stay down also do lobsters walk on the bottom in certain ways or paths? Is is becoming harder to catch? What kind of bait you use and say you had a hard time catching anything in an area so do you change the location? Please explain as much as you can. My family appreciate the hard work you do and I can easily explain why lobsters are not cheap. Thanks again.

Just curious, how much do you sell the lobsters for? By the pound, I would assume. What is the average weight per lobster that you keep? It looks like a relaxing(at times) way to make a living.

Keeps the rope from running the whole length of the boat and if i were carring more gear on the stern it keep it from pulling the off....I have 700 traps and am satisfied with one lobster per trap on average.

How calm was that water when you got to the dock, was that not something. That's the kind of peace and quiet you only get when from downeast Maine. Damn good video Capt. Just a real pleasure to watch. What's up with all the traps? Is it because of the time of year or something? That's a lot of traps.
