Hell ya boys !!! Can smell the salt watching Yas ! I'm Brighton bound end of July ! Be Cod fer me with my dad n brother !!!! Always loved lobster trapping ! Never had a chance too !!! Thanks for the video

You mean the canyons below georges.ie munsons.lydonia hydros ect😊

You should be bombing that trap over the rail not doing the old let it back down😂 jk man nice vid.

Almost looks like the lady Clairebut it has a grab bar?? Shaftee

Amazing video

This is very inefficient and more dangerous for the crew setting trawls like this, who cares if the traps last slightly longer u can easily replace those not the men or the vertebrae in the fellas back doing this lmfao

Gotta have fun or you'll go nuts right

I know for a fact I wouldn't be staying back in the stern when pots are goi g out like that ..no thnx

Let the pots go out by themselves....very stupid to be standing around the rope going out ......not bright

If you dont mind me asking what was the pay like at shaft master

I fished on the 94 footer diamond girl for 6 years loved every minute best years of my adult life.

Got me itchin for these right whales to get out of the waters, always nice out till it isn’t

This is how I started shooting trawls off after I seen to many pots get snagged in places, pots last longer this way instead of letting them rip of the stack

The Rachel Leah is def a gentleman boat 4 guys on deck and a very safe and cautious as well as conservative captain everything is timed based on the allotment. They shoot for 15 30-40 pot trawls a day cause they shared the ground with the direction and William bo. This was an owner operator boat until it was sold to shafty. Pete brown wanted the boat to be a family like atmosphere and not a place of abuse. I think cause his dad was “suicide” bob brown and peter was a lot different. It was a fun and profitable place to work. Cape cod casual. Baby. But shafty owns it now. As far as the final haven inshore guy... hey there’s a lot of line on that trawl on the ends bub still fishing deep that time a year. I didn’t meet a lot of punks in vinyl haven when i was there working for frank Thompson but its a different eco system bubba thats why plus you can see he’s pushing the boat into it so his crew can comfortably get thier job done. Alright I’m going fishing peace and love guys. Fish on.

I worked on this boat when Pete had it delivered brand new was quite a vessel the wire traps look funny all wood back then ,guy from Vinalhavens a punk who wouldn’t make it 1 trip baiting bags.

It's called self shooting for a reason you know

Lookin a little shitty out ! I love it !

Well oiled machine. The crew r seasoned vets that guy setting em is a beast I set e. In our boat and break em love it. Shout out from Maine

I do this for a living I've set thousands of trawls. We fished Jeffrey's ledge and the Eleven mile ridge in the gulf of Maine. Nice job gentleman. To the guy who asked how deep. we were fishing them between 60 and100 fathom this time if year might go as shallow as 40 fathom in early fall

How many miles offshore?

You know you are a dumb person when they make it to where you can just let them slide off the back but you still pull them for no reason lol.

Where was this boat out of?

Wow longer rope how deep ??

Literally everything done by the crew was for nothing the reason to open the stern in your boat is so the traps shoot them selfs the two fellas standing by the curb are just standing in a dangerous spot for nothing the traps are two high why are they tied down all they had to do was run the fucking bouy line out drop anchor and stand out the way

When lobstered I remember setting back in the month of January on the northern Atlantic it was blowin 45 mph and seas were 50 feet high riding the waves like a surf board, using the drop of the boat to pick gear for many hours usually around 18 to 20 hours on deck. I learned from the best captains in the industry. Proud to be a National Fisherman. some of my old crew: The Hedy Brenna, Nathaniel Lee, The Timothy Micheal, The Excalibur, The freedom, And all boats lost, The Reliance that went down back in the mid 80's. God bless them all.

That sure is a lot of rope !

Shaft master?

ok...i swear....this is how NOT to run lobster gear off the stern of a boat !!

do the traps even have any wieght in them ...lol our traps are between 130 and 150 lbs heavier the bettter

You still trapping

Hey Rich, what's your average soak time on these strings? and what structure are you fishing? Rock? Sand?

is that Ben durgin with the butt in his mouth?

Hope the stern man have life insurance

such a dangerous way to do it. fack that

Wow, I've been hauling outa Vinalhaven Maine my hole life, if you wanna get a real work out try working aboard a Vinalhaven lobster vessel.. that video i just watched is the slowest trawl operation I've ever seen..Lol haha stern men around here could do that shit blind folded.

I just got a new 40 foot dixon

how big is your boat?

I didn't count I'm guessing 50 trap trawl it set out pretty smooth good crewmanship.

Sloppy ol day ain't it

nothing beats clean squid fishing!
