Naskeag Harbor looks like a Lego® competition lately, as more fishermen bring ashore their lobster traps and stack them for trailering to winter storage.
You can get quite a workout stacking these plastic-coated wire traps. They’re up to four feet long and can weigh up to 65 pounds. You also want to be neat about it so that you don’t bend them out of operable shape or otherwise damage them. They cost about $100 per trap and are more intricate than it might seem to the casual observer.
