Naskeag Harbor is busy lately. Lobster fishermen are loading their traps from the Town Dock onto their fishing vessels, piling them high on deck. The traps will be set in our coastal waters. Below, you’ll see the Fishing Vessel Judith Ann taking off after being loaded cloudy Thursday.
It’s the beginning of the lobster fishing season here and every lobster-oriented thing looks sparkling and tidy. Below, you’ll see a trailer-load of traps near the Dock waiting to be stacked on an incoming fishing vessel on sunny Wednesday.
Let’s hope that this season is as good or better than the last, which set a record. (Images taken in Brooklin, Maine, on June 15 [truck] and 16 [boat], 2022.)
