Kicked off our recreational lobster season by setting our 10 traps. Caught out own bait for the traps, set and let fish for 3 days before hauling to see what we get.
I buy from a local trap builder. You can get trap kits from Hamilton Marine and New England marine for around $100 all in per trap. Comes with buoy, sinking line, and trap. Pretty basic setup but works if you only want to fish a few traps.
Great video???, the underwater footage was filmed in a freshwater pond, rewatch it and see all the pine needles come up when the trap hits the bottom. CZcams has other videos much better than this.
I don’t know where you fish in Massachusetts Bay but I’ve been fishing here over 60 years and NEVER seen pine needles on the bottom like your video has. That’s unless I was filming in a pond or lake. Poor attempt to fool everyone just for ratings. I would be embarrassed
when one bites leave it for a min or 2 the rest get curious and bit the other hooks
Why didn't you notch the female at 5:36?
Why didn't you V notch the berried lobster?
Already was notched
Clearly was not notched . Haha
Second flipper to right on first female lobster was notched, second female that was berried wasn't notched.
Great video! Quick question where did you get your traps? Also how much were they?
