Lobster Boat

My wife and I were sitting on some rocks enjoying the ocean view at Acadia National Park when this lobster boat pulled up. Being from Iowa, I had never seen a lobster boat. It was very fun to watch as these guys came up to their traps and pulled them up. Each lobsterman has his own traps marked with different designs on the buoys. The guys knew exactly where their traps were. They pulled up their traps and pulled out the lobsters inside. They kept some lobsters and threw others back. Then they threw each trap back into the water to come and check again another day.
