I lived in a fishing village in Maine my whole life. My grandfather was a lobsterman and my friend and now I have my 5 traps resident of the State of Maine, I throw myself on a boat of 14 feet. The lobster industry has difficult in recent years, as the price of a lobster boat has been reduced to less than $ 4 a pound. If you have a large lobster boat and can fish in deeper waters and 200 pounds of traps can be obtained per day between 100 and 200, if it is defined in the right places. My grandfather fished alone on year in his small boat 45 feet and had only 100 lockers. My friend is having difficulty achieving the balance of the payment of the boat, fuel, bait, and weather. In the distance, three days before and after paying for fuel, bait and baitboy was 40.00. In today's world is no silver before. Ten years ago, yes. So you can watch at work look attractive, however, with the economy, not to become rich. Also "pot" is another name for a trap. Four feet in case costs about 50.00. Toobsterman need a license appretice, then buy a boat, traps, buoys, ropes, bait, chimneys, hogrings, and everything that entails. The train is expensive! Moreover, in winter when it's 20 degrees below zero, it is a long, cold, wet and when the harbor with the wind that brings on the high seas may be to leave! It looks like a perfect job, but still looks can be deceiving.

There is a time and a cap. They will not cut it not for themselves, and other small vessels. A small shrimp net is 60 to 80 meters long, and I think it would at least maintain the traps.
