Captain Tuttle Posted August 18, 2020 Report Share Posted August 18, 2020 1 hour ago, MAArcher said: Are you still averaging 1.5? I've been pretty consistent at 1 per trap with 7 traps out. I just got my hands on some more traps so I'll be fishing all ten traps after I check and set tomorrow. I spliced some line and am going to give some deeper water a try. They are at 45 and 65 feet right now. It slowed down quick in August. A lot of lobsters one shed away from keeper. If things don't pick up I'll go deeper and rockier. 25-30' is usually just as good at 50+ so long as it is further from shore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmarino1432 Posted August 18, 2020 Report Share Posted August 18, 2020 Hoping after a long soak and two new traps tomorrow’s haul will be a good one. Things were just starting to ramp back up before the blow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Tuttle Posted August 23, 2020 Report Share Posted August 23, 2020 Time to move the traps around. I moved one last week and it produced two good keepers. The remaining traps just catch shorts and eggers. Out of the mud and into the rocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angler #1 Posted August 24, 2020 Report Share Posted August 24, 2020 Pulling 10 traps every other day in the bay has resulted in mixed catches of rather large eggers over 5 pounds [al released ] and smaller females also all released and ,marked . My friend has some days when he only gets 7 or 8 keepers out of the mix, mostly all males His last pull resulted in 15 keepers for the first time this year. The average size are fairly good in the 1.5 to 2 pound range. When he gets an abundance I may get a couple for lunch . He is trying skate this year from New Bedford and they seem to be working very well so far along with his secret chumming bait he uses Peace and Prayers The oxygen levels are staying good this year not unlike many pulls with half dead lobsters in them last year Life member M.B.B.A #509 Life member Izaak Walton Fishing Association Life member Cape Cod Canal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you feeding them while they are in the parlors? I thought of doing that if I was going week between checks but was told it really wasn't necessary.
