      @@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.

    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.

    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.

      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)

      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

    • @ohigedid91xbox9
      @ohigedid91xbox9 5 років тому +2

      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.
