The cod are gone and the haddock are scarce but the lobster keep on giving and the reason is the lobstermen police themselves. The eggers get notched and if anyone gets caught with short lobsters they will never fish again. Not because of the feds but because the other lobstermen will never let you drop a pot again.
Imagine uploading a video straight out of your camera, without cutting, describing or even setting a title, and still getting 2 Million views out of it.
got to have big diesel to spin a wheel like that jesus..... thats a lotta water being moved here ! on top of the propwash from the boat in front of you.
Greg Gacek They're all leaving the harbor & headed out to sea to start the first day of the lobstering season- kind of like when the doors open on Black Friday- there's a mad rush out the channel against the tide...
Oh; NOW I get it; you filmed boats going by. And here I thought this was pretty well lame and pointless, but NOW I understand! They're all REAL BOATS!!! WOW!
Man....that's really cool..!! Boats sound fantastic!! Lol....two thirds of the way thru the video, the guy says...."the channel is almost narrow". ?? Thank you Captain Obvious!!
This is the day (usually real early in the morning) when the guys go out in the ocean and set their pods to catch the lobsters everyone loves to eat. Expect me, I gave up on them in 1976. I will go for buckets of Steamers with much melted butter. No, it has to be melted.
tom welling Very close, but not identical. First, if you covered up the grills (front end), logos & badges of most pick-up trucks, most people would struggle to distinguish one brand from another (OK, you & me & other gear-heads could, but you get my point- the shape is pretty much the same, other than that ugly Honda with the sloping/angled bed...). There is a design that comes out of different areas that works well for that region, and that becomes "the standard" for that region. Of course, there are subtle differences, but it takes a keen eye to spot them. I'm willing to bet most of these lobstermen can identify them pretty quickly. A generation or two ago, the differences in design were greater, with more variation even within a given region. There was a time that sailors & fishermen could identify a lobster boat (or a trawler, or a tuna boat, clammer, and even many leisure craft) either to a specific region or builder. Sadly, those days are pretty well gone. The main reasons these boats look the same are: specialization- over time, some designs/ features are proven to be more practical/successful (economics) than others, and are therefore repeated & emulated by builders until a pretty uniform design emerges. The other reason, sadly, is that there are fewer and fewer builders out there, as quotas, regulations & competition (one boat with a small crew today can "harvest" a bigger catch & get it back to the docks quicker than those boats of only a few generations ago, meaning there are fewer boats, and fewer smaller one-man boats) and ultimately, there are fewer young people getting into the fishing industry (just like farming- fewer people producing more crops due to increased efficiencies/economies of scale). But watch it again, and look closely, and look at other pictures/videos of lobster boats, and you'll start to see the differences...
Paul Beebe, Um...some people can't read a comment and realize it was snarky even when there is a smiley face. Perhaps you should stop commenting until you've figured out the internet.
Tabourba I think if you'll take another look you'd see that they are headed out to sea through a very narrow channel against a very strong incoming tide. While I completely agree with no wake zones in sensitive areas that can be damaged by retards in powerboats going full throttle,causing erosion, disturbing wildlife (nesting grounds for birds in marshes, for example), or rocking every boat in the bay, swamping little boats, capsizing kayaks & canoes & causing those boats at dock to pitch, roll & buck- breaking cleats, lines & other equipment, that isn't the case here- these guys are giving it the gun just to make headway against a fierce current- they're barely going faster than walking speed, and you can hear the engines are roaring away- if they went any slower there's a pretty good chance they'd loose steerage and hit the sides of the channel, which are man-made, not an endangered natural area. I didn't check first, but I'm willing to bet this is somewhere in Maine. I remember going down a channel close to Bath where the current runs at 6-10 knots, and was much, much wider than the one in this video, and it was pretty tricky in a sailboat going slower than that.If you're going slower than the current, or in a following sea (surfing down a wave), you can find yourself subject to Rudder Reversal, where the water flowing from behind is going faster than you are, hits the rudder, and wants to push your stern out in the opposite direction than you're steering. Not fun at all. Safe voyages to you.
i see this is Prince Edward Island, Canada. It looks like they are using wooden pots (lobster traps). Is this mandated by the government? If so, i think it is a terrific idea because, if they become "lost", then they will degrade and no longer continue uselessly trapping lobsters the way metal wire traps do--ad Infinitum. I hope is hear back from someone in the know.
I can’t speak for Prince Edward Island but here in Newfoundland (also east coast Canada incase you didn’t know) fishermen use both types wooden and steel pots. It’s not government mandated here. Wooden ones are cheaper to replace if lost or broken, steel ones less likely to break but cost more and aren’t as readily available as wooden ones (depending on what area of the island you are on). Seems like more and more fishermen are going with steel nowadays.
How does a default file titled video that’s half black get 1.2m views and forced into everyone’s video feed, but my videos full edited videos barely get 200.... Wtf RUclips... WTF....
Jay 0711 yet somehow thousands of views are pouring in. Good thumbnail I guess? And there is a surprising amount of default file names being uploaded all the time, just try searching RUclips using common camera file naming conventions and you might find some other gems like this.
JEREMY WHITMORE I don't know the laws were these boats are but in Florida you have to use wood traps so that when you lose traps they will eventually decompose
Every one of those boats had nice paint and looked well maintained. They also sound great . Very impressive
And they are from the part of the island with the less fancy boats. Be setting day so they are at their best.
The best MOV044 ever!
@0:01 Good job he's an experienced skipper. It was a bit of a tight squeeze getting past that giant thumb for a minute there.
Love those diesels. Beautiful boats.
got to love how stable those boats are in the chop,,,,,by,s gotter figured out !!!
every captain handled that waterway like a boss..... ;-)
I remeber crab fishing from there that warf is so narrow lol
Downeast boats are just the most badass vessels on the high sea’s.
Thats cool i have a colvic fastfisher 23ft boat with perkins engine. And it looks little like those boats. love it.
Awesome! Those boats are beautiful.
I just stumbled onto this. COOL COOL and a couple sounded like the old PT-109, even though the PT had THREE engines
The same three boats keep circling the marina looking for a parking space.
I want to see them come back in with a following sea!
Honey don't wait for the shrimp cause I'm coming home with the crabs. Looks like a mad dash for the cash. Very cool video.
Opening day for lobster? The town of Tignish PEI has a population of around 700 so most of the area must have been deserted!
These are real boats ladies and gentlemen
Looks like a great place to go snorkeling !!
Professional fisherman outside wheelhouse(without PFD's) leaving a bar! Got to love those screaming Jimmies!
Love the screamin jimmies! Nothing beats the sound of a detroit two stroke diesel
Coralita675 alot of those boats are powered by 3208 cat motors
Contrary to what you think they are most of those boats are running 3208 cats with straight pipes
Been a long time since I've been up to Tignish for a cruise . Might have to cruise the whole Island this summer .
@3:12 How long before the spectators realise they're all just going round in a big circle?
Boro Nut 😂😂
you should name your video. its cool.
Barossa8200
MOV044 for video of the year!
Dang, this beat's my MOV044 by miles!
Listen to those Detroit diesel sing... yeah...
many of those boats run CAT for power. At least up in Maine they do. pretty cool vid...
y2kxj most of them are using cats. Just no muffler
2 Cycle at that
I heard 1 Detroit 2 Cats and 1 Cummins for sure.
aint nothing on those made in detroit
I like quiet boats, but damn do those CAT engines sound oh so good. Its likly pure music echoing out if the pipe.
Detroit
Right! Greetings from the northern german coast.
Those 2stroke Detroits don't sound nothing like a cat
Detroit's humming!
gotta love the sound of no mufflers!!
The cod are gone and the haddock are scarce but the lobster keep on giving and the reason is the lobstermen police themselves.

I caught crabs once, fishing in another man's well. (lol)
i'm getting seriously hungry watching this
... and I eat you
Imagine uploading a video straight out of your camera, without cutting, describing or even setting a title, and still getting 2 Million views out of it.
and almost 1,5k subscribers!!
shows how stupid people are.
That's insane, I doubt even know how I got here.
we all have to work , we all have to eat. This is one of the oldest methods in the world, and there are still lobster and fish in the ocean.
chuck wood you have no idea what you're talking about
chuck wood the reason there is I very healthy amount of lobsters and the population stays steady is from lobsterfishermen.
No Dayton it’s from regs, limits and restrictions placed on fishermen. It’s pretty rare you hear them singing the praises of stringent fishery regs.
10/10 Title would read again
I agree, awesome. Listen to those engines .... ready to burst!
Ohhhhh Nice...super nice 👏🏼👏🏼boats 👀
Just another day at the office. Not one of those boats have even a scuff on it!
Definitely a one way channel.
sounds like they dropped `10 gallons of fuel just gettin' down the driveway....lol
that's why the lobster you eat is so expensive.
or crap or shrimp, whatever they went out to fish with those cages.
Looks like you have to keep the throttle pinned just so you can steer
Super mooie boten, maar wat gaan die doen? Jammer dat we dat niet mogen weten.
How does this have a million views?
That would not be a good time to loose one's diesel.
Man that's 1 small inlet
The discovery channel makes this look so much more dramatic. The deadliest catch
Is this for lobster fishing a question from the UK
Nice video, so many at the same time, good fishing guys.
When you have good video, title is not important 🍸😎
lmao
got to have big diesel to spin a wheel like that jesus..... thats a lotta water being moved here ! on top of the propwash from the boat in front of you.
that water is going to get worn out
And what happens if one of the lead boat's engine quits ...logjam?
Hello, Geico?
Lemme guess ...
NO PASSING ZONE ??
some may say its goofy, but the man on the moons a newfie. - stompin tom
That was quite the traffic jam, where are they all coming from?
Greg Gacek They're all leaving the harbor & headed out to sea to start the first day of the lobstering season- kind of like when the doors open on Black Friday- there's a mad rush out the channel against the tide...
Oh; NOW I get it; you filmed boats going by. And here I thought this was pretty well lame and pointless, but NOW I understand! They're all REAL BOATS!!! WOW!
If the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland was designed by fishermen.
Man....that's really cool..!! Boats sound fantastic!!
Lol....two thirds of the way thru the video, the guy says...."the channel is almost narrow". ?? Thank you Captain Obvious!!
This is like 18 wheelers bringing food 🥘 to people’s table differences are this are boats 🚣♀️

When should we expect you?
were they called "pods" in 1976... nowdays they call them pots
I think the boat builder made a killing.
You wouldn't want to be the one to mess it up
Look at them pouring the coal on! Cool vid!
every boat is the exact same!
tom welling Very close, but not identical.

What do those things have for motors? They sound incredible!
I'm thinking 12 cylinder diesels, maybe two.
So much for the no wake zone :)
I was thinking the same thing. Sheesh was this a fisherman race??
Um...no wake zone apply when your wake will disturb other boats...Like in a HARBOR..
Paul Beebe, Um...some people can't read a comment and realize it was snarky even when there is a smiley face. Perhaps you should stop commenting until you've figured out the internet.
and report that one at 2:21 to the smokinmg vehicle cops!

my first thought was Bay of Fundy Then I googled Tignish Run and see it is PEI Canada...6 of one and a half dozen of the other...
The first boat had it easy, the rest of them had to fight the rough water...and what are they hauling ?
Bruce Baker Hauling lobster pots.
i see this is Prince Edward Island, Canada. It looks like they are using wooden pots (lobster traps). Is this mandated by the government?

We use both wooden and metal wire pots here in Nova Scotia too, but you see a lot more people using wooden ones.
They do have steel crab pots with biodegradable escape panels.
talkin about sharkin for a livin? No, Im talkin bout crustaceans!
Loud pipes save lives
This is like a large intestine and the boats are poops.
Lucky Goose - that’s mighty big poop 💩 😝
Martyn Sutton Sounds angry, too... Kinda like after eating too much cabbage or Mexican food...
was this at North lake, PEI. Have a cousin that used to fish out of there
Tignish run. Other end of PEI.🙂
How does a default file titled video that’s half black get 1.2m views and forced into everyone’s video feed, but my videos full edited videos barely get 200.... Wtf RUclips... WTF....
Great video!
was beside you that day
Time to make the doughnuts , I mean ,time to get the Lobsters.
So, how many laps do they do, and who won?
Great video! Thanks for sharing!
I wonder if the water level rose in the harbor due to all the props pushing the water backwards!
Yes.
Nowhere near as much as the incoming tide the boats are fighting against....
Well he does have his glass princess hat on.
Where do i buy a used boat like that?
Keep this name on ur video... coz this is highest mov views ever.
Well, this is the first RUclips video I’ve ever seen where the title of the video is the name the camera gave the file.
Jay 0711 yet somehow thousands of views are pouring in. Good thumbnail I guess? And there is a surprising amount of default file names being uploaded all the time, just try searching RUclips using common camera file naming conventions and you might find some other gems like this.
WestcoastWheelman Actually the title worked because I clicked out of curiosity. It was a cool video. Thanks for sharing. Have safe and happy new year!
Wow, they all have the same boat. What kind is it, must be good?
Nice vid . Way to go
Still using wood traps. That's a surprise.
JEREMY WHITMORE for some reason the wire traps won't fish up there
JEREMY WHITMORE I don't know the laws were these boats are but in Florida you have to use wood traps so that when you lose traps they will eventually decompose
JEREMY WHITMORE all they use are wood traps
JEREMY WHITMORE
The wildlife commission makes you use wood traps, that’s the reason why.
What happens if your going back and meet another boat leaving?
May 1 opening day on the North Shore of PEI ..,Got 60 day season
Just one boat having trouble and alot of boots will be screwed.
Video super👍👍👍
Wouldn’t it be smarter to go slow?
Crikey. Theyre gonna wipe out that fishery in no time. Is there a catch limit?
It is a sustainable fishery. HIGHLY REGULATED.
Yeah, with a bit of luck we can get every last lobster in the bay, and the next bay, and the next..... and the next....
I know there the bad guys right? Putting food on people's tables
Try that on the out tide. No sir. Bumper cars
Are all those boats Cape Islanders
Would loke to see how this ''ALL '' works.
That is called setting day. In surten places lobstering is seasonal
Tim Goddard don’t be to surten about that
@@jonathanservellonjs Surtenly...
@@jonathanservellonjs maybe you mean certain... :,
Will there be any lobsters left when they are done
David Reller v
They can only fish for a few months and they throw back all the shorts and egg bearing females...it's a very sustainable fishery.
Ummm, lobster tail and fillet mignon.
Where you going to a fire?
Opening day?
