for sure

It’s good honest work

Thank you

Same here haha. That's my kind of guy. We only hire guys like that

Thank you Dana!

Thank you! I hunt a lot in Timber country up north in Maine. Sadly the big timber days are gone up there but the logging operations are still impressive. Central Maine has a lot of big trees and the Arborists are very skilled taking them down in tough and tight situations.

Thank you Wayne!

Awesome! Thank you

Awesome, thank you

For sure

Man it’s good stuff!

Absolutely

I told my now ex gf boy when he wanted to get into it I told him go stand at the dock look at the boats and find the best ones there and he asked why I told him those are Highliners those are the guys you want to fish with.. He started on a broke down boat w no money jumped ship after season jumped a highline and he said holy what a difference I said EXACTLY

Yeah, not cool at all flinging the short ones back like he is trying to win a Frisbee tournament. They should be showing more respect for the lobsters, those undersized ones are their future profits

Good stuff

Thank you

Soooo gooood.

Might not be a good way out!!! 😂

A pretty brutal death it would be, that was extremely dangerous

Yeah, no reason to do that if you manage the rope correctly as you haul it

Thank you, he’s the best.

Yeppers, great guy! Let me know if you want to do some stiper fishing this summer, I'd be happy to host

Message me on ig @isaacfeigenbaum I’ve been fishing in Alaska and I need a deckhand in Maine when I come over and fish there in a few months

called different things. my ex has a lobster box, this is more than liking a holding tank .. a live-well is a term more used with pond fisherman.

That is correct

@@kwelyroos71 Thank you.

Thanks bud, Anytime is a good time for Lobster Dinner!

Thanks bud.

How’d you do?

I believe you can get a permit for ten or so traps but I’ll have to check into it. Thanks for tuning in,

Thank you

not hard try Friendship and down east from there.

The spring season and the fall season seem to be the best catches in this Downeast midcoast area. They come in closer in the spring and the catches are bigger out deeper in the fall before winter.

I believe there are still smaller resident licenses

I guess I'll see once I move up there and can figure out a boat situation

They are very hard workers.

It honestly changes daily.

Thinking the same exact thing, he should show more respect for the resource

I'd love to! Is it similar just smaller scale?

We use a square basket about the size of a 24pk of coke, bait it with chicken bones, and throw it in a deep hole and wade the shoals and shallow water flippin rocks over and gettin them that way to... fine eatin brother

Sounds like a lot of fun!

They fish them all year, as far as eating goes it’s good all the time too.

@@JoeHollandFishing can u fish for lobster all year long in Maine? I know in Canada it’s only for a couple months then it closes

It really is!

nice

They only spin the ones where the doors are facing wrong direction to open.

truth

@@JoeHollandFishing they will have a headache

thank you!

No

U R 100% right! Anytime I see someone harshly treating wildlife it speaks volumes about that person, definitely not in a good way

And what’s average weekly pay?

@@Damon637lord As a local in Maine, I have seen it is generally pretty easy to get a job lobstering. I can't say for sure, but high schoolers I knew who lobstered seemed to make pretty good money. Best of luck to you.

Go walk the docks starting at 430am to 7am do that for a week and you'll probably have a job 👍hit up the local stores after 7

Good questions, the shorts signify the strength of the lobster population. It takes seven years for a lobster to reach keeper size, so the lobsterman is actually seeing his future in every trap and with every short lobster he throws back. If they were not catching high numbers of shorts then the industry and population would be in decline. I’d say there is nothing to keep fish from eating the lobsters on the way down. I’d think they are safest on the bottom. They dart down very quickly and there are not a lot of predator fish in Maine waters of the lobster,

I have been diving for pacific coast Lobsters since I was 12 and I have to say they are bigger and less sweeter than east coast bugs.

Cool, sounds like fun. I tried some from the Florida keys , Caribbean lobster with no claws. They were tasty .

so true thanks.

92 pounds

I’m a Maine lobster fisherman where are you located? I can help ya

Make 500k plus a YEAR where I fish

Legendary

The slot limit dictates the population there are actually millions and millions of lobsters crawling around on the bottom of the ocean floor, and a great many of them get caught, but a huge percentage of those get released because they are not big enough and some are too big

​@JoeHollandFishing why are the big ones released???

Bummer man, I’ll see if I can get KZfaq to reduce them, thanks for the feedback.

thank you.

Yes, and also add to that Pogies, Alewives and various other baits.
