Checked my lobster gear this past sunday.
Pouring rain, hung traps, bugs and no tide made for a difficult session.
Most of my lobster gear was hung up badly. I think this is caused by a large, deep-draft vessel navigating through the canal at low tide. The water the vessel displaces causes a suck/surge event that flips and moves all the traps and wraps them around the ledges. I'm not getting any younger and I was pretty worn out by the time I got done checking my gear.
I got a dozen keepers, numerous egger's, many shorts and another one in ten million lobster!
For the second year in a row I caught one of those one in ten million yellow lobster's.
I wish I could get as lucky with the lottery tickets!!!

So I guess it's 2 in a million chance now. Wow. I remember the first pic earlier this year. You better play Powerball. Nice pics. If you ever get tired eating them bugs let us know. We'll take 'em off your hands.
