Foggy Easy day! (done at Noon)

Today, it was really foggy. I got up at 5 A.M. and we got to the wharf at about 5:30 A.M. It was pretty foggy when we got to the wharf. We went straight to the lobster-boat from the docks because we already had bait, so we didnt need to get any this morning. We were only doing single traps today, and i filled a lot of bait bags on the way out. As we were hauling traps, i tried to fill more bait bags than we were putting in the traps, so that i could have some for tomorrows work.

Today was easy because we were not using any rock-fish, so i only needed bait bags to fill. This made it much easier. The only reason that we weren't using rock fish today was because, we didn't have any left, because the wharf ran out, and we got the last 9 packages of rock fish yesterday, and they were all used up by the end of yesterday.

We caught a huge female lobster, and it had shell disease. Shell disease is caused by pollution in the water, and the only way a lobster can get rid of shell disease, is if the lobster sheds its old shell, before the lobster dies. The lobster was huge, and its tail was really big also.


Ill be posting a Learner page on how to cook lobsters tomarrow.
