Wrapping up a two weekend assault on the lobster population here on Big Pine. We came down last week, had a great shot at them last weekend – I flew to New York on business and got back here Thursday night and we hit it again this weekend. My wife Robin, good friend and co-worker Ted and I were the crew.
The weekend promised to be good … look at this water!
We started out well with a couple hours in the back country near the neighborhood on Friday night. Two stops, we picked up dinner … nice!!!!
Saturday we took the big boat out and ran down off Sugarloaf, and then played dodge the thunderstorms. Ended up turning around and running up to the 7 mile bridge and got there right as the current was going to go slack and switch. Never dove there before, it was really cool. First piling we came to we snorkeled right into a school of tarpon – 50 pounders or so. They were in there chasing pilchards and really paid us no never mind!
Ended up with 9 or so … not too shabby …. Ted started cleaning them before we got a picture, he caught heck from Robin!
Speaking of dinner – I am blessed, Robin is a crazy good chef. How about Lobster Risotto folks …
Sunday, Ted headed back to reality, so Robin and I struck off on our own. Back to the back yard again, and we did some pretty good work for the two of us ….
Final tally for the last two weeks … 42 lobsters. I say we killed it!!!!!
