Abbie's Keeper

The row never happened because Brady and Katelyn  wanted to help me pull the traps.

~

So we headed out to Halfway Rock and hit the bait pollack pretty good, landing about twenty in an hour or so.  Then we pulled all of the traps with six keeper lobsters... a pretty good haul.

The fog was a challenge and we headed into the Boston Yacht Club to grab a cocktail or three with something from the grill.  Joanne came down for a couple of chardonnays and then Nancy Bruett, Abbie Bruett and My Friend Who Doesn't Want His Name Mentioned in the Blog showed up on the porch with tales of Abby's landing of a 42", 26 lb. Striped Bass outside of Brown's Island.

~

That inspired Brady, Katelyn and I to live line the pollack slowly around Browns and Naugus Head, then over to the Power Plant on the way back to the Salem Harbor Mooring.

Nothing.

The day belongs to Abbie.

What did she catch it on? Not pollock?
Live lined pogeys this morning in Hull Gut. Boated three keepers. Lots of fish out there.
Take your Lobster while you can, that industry in MA is shut down.
Obama!

MFWDWHNMITB says that he and daughter Abby caught 4 mackerel and, minutes after live lining with one, hooked onto the keeper down by Brown's Island.
