Trapper John Setting Lobster Traps In 12 Foot Seas Yesterday

Steve Clings On To The Totes Of Bait While George Gets Ready To Hand Set Each Trap Off The Stern.

Good Times!

This is the kind of work for only the hard core.  Most men would be curled up in the fetal position down below puking their brains out. But the boys aboard the Trapper John slogged their way through a brutal day at sea.

    In other words Joey, what you are saying are that these guys are REAL LOBSTERMEN …lol… Great pictures. When I went out hauling with my friend from Maine I saw firsthand how hard a job it is. Believe me if you have trouble boiling lobsters, go out hauling with these guys for one day & I promise you that you will never have trouble boiling lobsters again. Not once you see the work envolved in catching them.

    Deb,
    If you paint these please let me know as I am in these photos. I would love to have a print of a painting with me in it!
