Good vid, great song to match:) I spent some time in Nova Scotia with a lobster fisherman and afterwards, I had a whole new respect for that line of work. Beautiful place, friendly and wonderful people...with interesting accents (haha)
season opens the last monday in November here is South West Nova Scotia, area 34 runs from Baccaro to Digby,there are close to 1000 boats involved in the fishery
Slink I ain`t gonna lie...it was the second week and we were INTO them, I LOVED IT. Just what you need to awaken you after little to no sleep for 2 weeks lol
we are around 10-15 miles from land where we fish, our pots weigh between 75 and 90 lbs ( 90 lbs ones are the anchor pots on the ends of the trawl)with 120 lb weight anchors. lots of physical labour aboard the boat for sure, i think of it as a free work out lol
been in plenty of wind but nothing close to 100 knot, our boats are only 45 feet long and we fish offshore . the ramp was put there because the boat always had a closed in stern . we couldn`t cut the stern out because there was a fuel tank at the end of it, and fishing trawls we didn`t want to have to go push every pot overboard, a lot safer and its pretty cool to watch them shoot overboard lol
Just got back from 2 weeks in Halifax and did lots of touring at night and on the weekends. Driving up through Mahone Bay, St Margarets Bay, Glen Margaret etc we would see hundreds and hundreds of feet of nets and buoys strung along the gravel shoulder and on the guardrails, WHY? Wife and I were curious. Figured they decorated the landscape with old nets, possible?
there are jobs, usually for the first month of the season most boats take a 'bander' whose job it is to measure,band,sort,and pack the lobsters, along with filling bait and sometimes working at the roller. Pay varies a lot, we paid our bander $1500 a week last year, some pay more,some pay less
we have jut over a month left in this season , weather has been beautiful all April, hope it holds on for May . catches are good and the price seems to be holding at $4 / lb
@flamedrag18 Yes but that is only with a southeast wind, and thats a land breeze, the wind here churns up the water so bad becasue theres nothing to block the wind like your big mountians lol
I live in the same area as the guy who posted the video, and let me assure you I know 100 knots of wind. Im guessing your winds are les suites that come off the highland correct. No doubt it does get bad in your waters but untill you;ve tryed the offshore swells im not sure nothing could compare.
haha no problem, and I`ll hold you to that beer !! there are usually people looking for banders in November on thehawkroad(.com) , it`s a local website
well fucknuts... it was the first week of the season, we caught 20,000 lbs in 10 days, non stop, and it was -10 degrees with a 25-30 knot nor-east wind in the second week of December... come aboard and bring your cotton gloves if you`d like, it`s just me on deck now alone, and the pots weigh 100 lbs each
