lobster season Nova Scotia.... - Oldtimer2 - 06-26-2017
What a season this has been here in this part of Nova Scotia . My son is beside himself . Record catches and record prices . It gives the young captains some $'s in their pockets , in their boats and in their gear and gives the older captain's a farewell payday . In the 54 years I fished I saw nothing like this . Where did the lobsters come from ???? 4 more days and that's it .

Good for you (and son and other captains) OT!!
Good luck on the next 4 days. (admittedly very hungry for lobster now ).
What was the biggest? I was just looking up how big they can get because of the story on the NY restaurant ("Peter’s Clam Bar") that released a 22 lb lobster believed to be 132 years old! It was kept in an aquarium for display purposes or similar reason.

The biggest lobster I trapped was just under 15lbs . the next biggest I trapped would be maybe 10 lbs . That was probably 20 years ago. Maine is selling NS lobsters for Maine lobsters again . There have been 2 companies here charged with selling lobsters to the US with a US sticker on them already . My son's boat has caught 25-30 thousand lbs @ $7.00/lb . It will be a nice bonus day for the deckhands !!!! next Friday . This week it's weigh and pay !!!!

Congratulations to your son on what sounds like the season of a lifetime. My wife is in Vermont now and just had lobster yesterday. I wonder if it was from NS?
