funny how things come across the channel i worked for this company back in the 90s we had wooden traps ! life so much easier now ! Thank you Capt pete from the Ulagh McGrath for the experience !
I know more than a few of these brave fishermen. They have all my respect. We are lucky to have them bring us this delicious food. Worth so much more than we pay. Fish On, boys.
I also fished for Little Bay for several years. Was on the Jacqueline Robin as my primary vessel. Eventually fished on all of them. I started in Casco Bay and ended up there as well. Always start small and end up big. Looks like y'all went with all wire traps. I was there with the wooden monsters. Thank you for the memories bro. It was and always will be the toughest job I ever loved. Two days home to lick the wounds and back out lol.
How does one get into working on one of these vessels with no commercial fishing experience but a bit of experience being out at sea?? Moving up to Maine within the next few months interested in possibly developing the skills/connections to be able to work among these beasts of men trying to conquer the sea!
@@demiansanmartin4516, start out inshore. Then make your way offshore. The offshore sector is where the money is. Teach yourself how to do knots. As well as how to splice three strand line. Then you will go from there. It's very hard work but it's rewarding. Also you will have to get oil skins. Get the Grundens brand. They are pricey but well worth it. You will also need water boots (rubber boots). Go out and beat the docks early in the morning and ask if they need a stern man. The boat owner will usually provide the gloves. They will be either cloth or rubber. Don't use the cloth offshore though. There is so much advice I can give you.
@@semperparatus678 lol my first trip as a greenhorn was with Wayne chevalier and bob jensen, Wayne working for fanel and selling the area 3 gear to Jonathan, who bob worked for, ended up working with Wayno another 4 years, I just reconnected with him, but ye I jumped right into the fire now I’m learning inshore 😂😂😂
I remember stacking a cap of six high while moving gear. Great job for the young guys but you will get old pretty quickly. Gulf of Maine offshore and Georges Bank shoal season is as rowdy as it gets on the east coast. We had quite a few big "west coast crab guys" fold like cheap chairs during shoal season. Fuck 'em.
I worked a few trips for these boys on the old Michelle Jean, back when hurricane sandy was rolling up the coast! What a badass job I miss being offshore.
Watched this video before, but this time right now my son is on one of these boats. They will be back in about 8 days,and they have a big gale of norwest wind to fish through. Have a good and safe trip, I'll stick to lobstering in Eastern Casco Bay, the gulf of Maine gives alot but it not always gravy, the life of all being a fisherman. Paul J.
Love this. I have four generations of fisherman and lobsterman in my family. And my self am part of this life. Be back home in Maine in two 2 weeks to get back out 💪🏽
All the continual movement & the constant pushing & pulling while being outdoors, I can't help but think a lobsterman burns 3,000 calories a day. They must be very fit. Very fit. And to do it day after day for 10 days straight, night & day. These guys gotta love what they do.
After four generations of commercial blue crab fishing from April until early November everyday including yip everyday at the young age of 25 I'd been hearing about lobster fishing off of Ocean City MD making three times more than I was making in half the time. So after talking with several family members that have been crabbing much longer than I have and others from my tiny home Island of Tangier MD and being told that crabbing was the better alternative I immediately decided to go lobster fishing commercially. Several local lobster men gave me lots of information unfortunately it wasn't good information leaving them laughing at me while following their jokenly experience. Fortunately the second year a retired commercial lobster boat Captain from Maine heard about me and my determination of being the best lobster fishing boat around. He and I had a long talk over several cold beers. The next day after waking up on the deck of my boat we had another long talk. I agreed to do whatever he said during lobster fishing season although I was the captain. The following season because of him and following his every command I purchased a two year old lobster fishing boat. Much more advanced and 12 feel longer with twin turbo Cummins diesels. For the next 29 years I had contracts with several seafood restaurants around Ocean City MD and Lower Delaware including Phillips Crabhouse. The older guys that use to laugh at me decided quickly to start listening to me and my friend from Maine. Just saying.
Nice video. My dad owned a lobster wharf in Harpswell - Bibber Lobster (where Potts Harbor Lobster is now) and I fished for lobster myself for 14 years. Never did offshore.
Never been that far out but I have been lobstering before. My dad and his buddy worked out of Point Pleasant NJ. They just made day trips. We're from NC. I got to make a few trips with him before when I was a teenager. I've blue crabbed most of my childhood and teen years, working for my dad and grandpa, and so lobstering was a fun change up for me. Spent my late teens and early 20's gill netting down here in NC. Now I got me a land job as a mechanic but I'll always have a piece of me out there in the water. Hard to get salt out of your veins.
@@connormccoury9272 fun fact: one of my ancestors was part of Blackbeard's crew. Years ago someone found a piece of paper and realized it paper was actually torn from Queen Anne's Revenge's ships log.

It's interesting you say that as I'm 23 and preparing to leave the Midwest and go do that next summer just to try it and get away. After high school I worked 3 jobs, 70hrs some weeks to move me and my girlfriend some states away for a fresh start and so I could work full time and go to school full time, we were succeeding too, mostly bc of me and my drive, I just wanted her with me. She broke it off after 5 years together just so she could move back to her mom and dad's and not have to pay bills. and all that work and it's been almost 3 years since we broke up and nothing makes sense anymore. Alcohol didn't particularly help as I was drinking an 18 pack a day. I dropped out of college and I've just been wandering living with friends and I'm just gonna go do some crazy shit until I'm 30 or end up dead. Luckily I've never had the desire to do.drugs or I'd have probably killed myself a while ago. I don't even know why I shared all this but your comment just struck me as relatable...I have no kids, shit credit, and not a whole lot left to live for. Luckily I did stop binge drinking and eating and I've lost 65 lbs and I'm ready for something a little insane (as I consider lobster boating lol) Fuck it, we'll see how far I get! Thanks for.letting me bother you lol

Great video! I was thrilled to hear Bonnie "Prince" Billy and Matt Sweeney as the sound track! I've watched many of your boats leaving and arriving Portsmouth harbor over the years while fishing on inshore boats.
Offshore commercial fishing must be the most physically demanding, most dangerous way to earn a living there is. I salute you. A few of questions about the video; >What was the air temperature? [i.e. cold, (30-40) damn cold, (20-30) goddamned cold At what depth, average, were the traps? >What did the senior deckhand take home in wages? Approximately. (I certify that I am not an employee of the Internal Revenue Service.)
I worked this boat and depending on season, price and your haul we made 2500 on the low and pushing 15000 on peak trips typically in the folder weather, 10 day trips and you worked every minute of it!
That looks like one of the most dangerous jobs ever, more than logging, high iron or whatever that reality show is about fishing in Alaska (which I stopped watching many years ago). And, my reference isn't from sitting behind an office desk. It's from working on high rise construction, tunnels and bridge construction.
@@guaporeturns9472 Yes, there are many dangerous jobs. I worked construction in the 1960's-1970's, and OSHA didn't have much to say back then. One of my jobs was a scaffold builder up the sides of buildings which wasn't always safe because of poor equipment. But, I miss those days probably because I got to be 77 too soon (hahaha).
@@jacksak 56 here.well you made it this long you must have done something right. OSHA was a non-factor in the Bering sea and floating Alaska logging camps as well. Should see some of the boats I worked. 😱 Take care.
@@TheADDFiles-yk4dc There are some hard, tough and dangerous jobs out there that most people never see or understand unless they lived them. Coal minors were/are a rugged breed.
I liked your video it reminded me of my days fishing Dungee’s out of Cordova Alaska back in the the late 70’s. I could see you guys are real fisherman not pansies! With some good hustle to good job boys. I also like the music thanks.
@Swamp Yankee cool! I am fascinated with people whose "office" is the sea. So many ways it can kill you and so much back-breaking work, but also it kind of seems like a cool gig, lots of freedom.
This would be a great Bootcamp for some of my lazy co-workers who think they have such a hard job. You do an amazing job, to say the least!!! How do you not get sick as well as freeze?
Most of the people who fish in this type of weather is what they call salty the waves don't really bother them and they have several layers of clothes under their rain gear plus just staying busy all the time helps keep them warm when I lived in Virginia on the coastal part of the state I use to walk to school in shorts and t-shirts no jacket or anything like that in the dead of winter
t11par in lobstering you run and move and layer too much to get cold, now crab fishing like deadliest catch they stand around a lot more and don’t give off as much body heat so you see them feeling it more, lobstering is 12-40+ hours of grueling running traps and prepping bait cycles, the crew I was on worked so well together we could repair as we hauled, if the repair was too big that it would stop the hauler we would get it at the end as we setup to set back, the right crew doesn’t notice the cold until they steam to the next set of gear and have to change and have their sweat start freezing em
Mo that’s a good question. I made this video just to show my family and friends some of what the work looks like. They’ve seen and eaten many lobsters already. Looking back, I do wish I filmed some more stuff actually and had some more about lobsters in the video. Anyways, I could only film when we weren’t catching much. You’ll see one shot a couple minutes in where there are a few lobsters in a trap, but other than that we just weren’t really getting anything, hence the time to even film this.
Steven Branson honestly for most it strengthens them because u use the seas to ur advantage, i broke my knee when i was 20 so after a few years of non stop go go go it eventually wore on me, i went to pickup a lobster one day and my siatic nerve gave out and i fell over, that’s when i realized it was over for me
wmcrabby The way to do it is to show up at wharfs and piers and talk to captains. Early in the morning and in the afternoon when they land. Help them out with something if you can.
If only people knew sitting in restaurants what it took to put that lobster on their plates ! Big respect guys ! Thanks for sharing.

Lobstering, not long maybe like an hour or two. If you go scalloping, it’s a lot more severe, your boat isn’t rocking as much it’s just swaying really
@@tiernan7829 eh, not really. Been scalloping full time for 13 years on a full time boat out of Cape May.
I love offshore fishing is just you the watering and God
Shaffftttttyyyyyy
Think of these guys & give thanks when you order that Lobster Roll
Peasants food until rich people were told it’s luxurious & special.
This would be a great Bootcamp for some of my lazy co-workers who think they have such a hard job. You do an amazing job, to say the least!!! How do you not get sick as well as freeze?
Most of the people who fish in this type of weather is what they call salty the waves don't really bother them and they have several layers of clothes under their rain gear plus just staying busy all the time helps keep them warm when I lived in Virginia on the coastal part of the state I use to walk to school in shorts and t-shirts no jacket or anything like that in the dead of winter
t11par in lobstering you run and move and layer too much to get cold, now crab fishing like deadliest catch they stand around a lot more and don’t give off as much body heat so you see them feeling it more, lobstering is 12-40+ hours of grueling running traps and prepping bait cycles, the crew I was on worked so well together we could repair as we hauled, if the repair was too big that it would stop the hauler we would get it at the end as we setup to set back, the right crew doesn’t notice the cold until they steam to the next set of gear and have to change and have their sweat start freezing em
Mother Nature in all her glory
what are the weights called
weights
@@kylefranklin151 Alright thank you I was thinking that they were called something speacial other thank weights
@@ryanm5555 I gotcha. Just joking with the short response. Yeah we just say weights. But you can think of them as endline anchors.
@@kylefranklin151 Nice Thank you.
@@kylefranklin151 One more question, do you work at little bay lobster because Im thinking when I get out of High School I might get a job there.
Ask johnny durant If he remembers penguin
How come I dont see any lobsters...only the crew working
Mo that’s a good question. I made this video just to show my family and friends some of what the work looks like. They’ve seen and eaten many lobsters already. Looking back, I do wish I filmed some more stuff actually and had some more about lobsters in the video. Anyways, I could only film when we weren’t catching much. You’ll see one shot a couple minutes in where there are a few lobsters in a trap, but other than that we just weren’t really getting anything, hence the time to even film this.
@@kylefranklin151 lol, bad fishermen turn into cow farmers, j/k
I fish Lobster in Cape Breton Nova Scotia and The Traps are filled to the doors
Beautiful
Surprised you didn't use, "The Reach"for be music

Fished on George's for 5yrs on the dragon lady all around the shaftmaster boats these voys dont play
I didn't see a one Lobster! Fuck that!
Peter Hunsader there are 5 lobsters at 2:43. Enjoy
@@kylefranklin151 O, there they are! Silly me.
Hot damn what are you fishing off of a barge?
It floats, moves, and makes the crew money. What more do you need?
@Christopher D I suppose a couple of life jackets is all you need eh
How many of you all have bad backs?
Steven Branson haha probably not as many as offices that have people sit in chairs all day. That’s bad back recipe #1
Steven Branson honestly for most it strengthens them because u use the seas to ur advantage, i broke my knee when i was 20 so after a few years of non stop go go go it eventually wore on me, i went to pickup a lobster one day and my siatic nerve gave out and i fell over, that’s when i realized it was over for me
Hello Mr. Franklin, Is there a good way to contact you? I have some questions about gaining employment lobster fishing. Thank you for your time.
wmcrabby The way to do it is to show up at wharfs and piers and talk to captains. Early in the morning and in the afternoon when they land. Help them out with something if you can.
awesome, thank you for your quick response, I will be up there starting next week!
