Let us know how you make out this season for lobsters. Last year, I gave up pulling lobster pots by July as it was too much work and expense for what I was getting. I did not even make my $62 back. Would have been better if I just purchased them. The first thirty pots I pulled, more or less, I only caught three keeper lobsters over a period of about two weeks. Even then, one of them was a useless mushy watery kind that I should have not even taken. The professional lobstermen bitch and moaned last year about very poor catches. What really surprised me was the total absence of lobster pots at Latimers Reef last fall. Something is very wrong with this fishery right now, and I do not have a clue as to what the real underlying problems are. |
