Opening Day Approaching for Lobster Season
So, back at the fish fry the other night, Mike and Jim were talking about opening day for lobsters. I like lobster alot! But I’ve never considered going out and getting them for myself. I chalk this up to my failure as a bird hunter, fisherman and pig farmer. I didn’t give it much more thought. At least, not until I saw this scene on my daily bike ride today. This “party” sport fishing boat is capable of taking 85 anglers for a puke-alicious extravaganza. But today it appears loaded and I mean loaded with what look like lobster traps to me. I counted approximately five traps high by 20 rows a side. That means this boat probably has around 200 traps! At first I thought maybe they rent people traps and take them out to pick them up. But there are so many traps on the boat I dont see how it could hold passengers. Maybe this is just another angle to their biz?
LOBSTERS!!!! I have only had California lobsters once —and it wasn’t like a Mainer—but I’d be willing to have another go at it!!!
Those bugs don’t have a chance…
You’re making me homesick! As a kid, I lived on Silver Strand and went to school on Hollywood Beach. Hundreds of lobster memories! The best of California, totally.
You’ll be happy to know The Strand and the little school are all still intact and STILL funky. its just all separated by the harbor now and DATS where de lobsta be!
