More traps






took up some more today

WATCH THIS






























Today I put the Go Pro in a three foot Portland shrimp headed trap . I baited it on just herring and left the few lobsters that we caught in it . Then we moved just that pair of pots up into 19 fathoms of water and set them back overboard hoping I could get some still pictures of what the lobsters are doing while in the traps . The camera is set to take a photo every 10 seconds . We went back to the other 8 traps we had to pick up and left the camera trap until we got done hauling up the last 8 traps when we got back to the camera trap it had taken 80 pictures . Now you will have to look close and keep an eye on the bait bag in the middle of the screen I think you guys will like what you see . We managed to catch another lobster in 800 seconds crazy stuff just proves you never know were your gonna catch a bug . You have to look real close and even click on the first picture and it then will let you just click through all the photos like a slide show .

Frisbee time


Playing Frisbee is Jak's all time favorite thing to do .He is just a little to fast for the camera .If you look at his feet you can see him starting to take off as I am letting go of the frisbee .
