Lobster trap log
This has been a very successful lobster season so far. The traps were only down for a day and normally I would not even bother to check them but we are in the process of stockpiling the red bugs in preparation for my wife’s mother’s 80th B-day party. Nothing in the first two traps and I was sure the trend would continue but I was wrong. The third trap did not disappoint – two keepers both around 1.5 lbs. The next few traps were empty but the last one had a large hard shelled about 4 lbs. and a throw back baby. Plenty of bait still in the traps so back down to the bottom they go.
