How We Lobster Fish in Maine

Come along and learn all you need to know about lobstering in Maine for a full day of Maine Lobster Fishing. I hop on board the Diversion out of South Bristol, Maine and go deep sea lobstering for Maine Red Lobster. Learn what it takes to be a sternman and first and second mate.

I went Stern for a few years, It's hard on the back but I loved every minute of it.

Hard rewarding work. Reading the Stern Men now.

I went to Maine 3 years ago on vacation. It was a dream trip. I can't wait to go back. We started at the south east corner and went up the coast to Bar Harbor. Wow, what a trip. Next time I want to see the timber country. I am in the timber business in Tennessee and I gotta see how they do it there. I ate at least 20 lobsters while I was there. I am impressed with the video Joe. Great Job Joe!!!

The video definitely had the documentary feel to it. I'm telling you.... that's your calling. Thanks for sharing, Joe!!

Hello from east boothbay! Saw the map on the screen. LOVE IT!

Good video. I worked on a boat in Casco Bay a long time ago when the traps were wooden, and we were transitioning from wooden pegs to rubber bands. There nothing like swinging water logged and concrete weighted 4 footers all day long. Got to say....you guys handle the lobsters a lot rougher than we did. My captain would have keel hauled my ass if he saw me banging lobsters around like that.

when i saw my guy grab the bait fish.. then grab his cig. then keep smoking and working.. i knew he was for real

If you get on the right boat with the right crew it's a great gig, pretty decent money too.

Great day of lobstering. Notched a few for the future stocks.

Much respect to those men and women who do that job! Damn hard work! I don't mind paying for a lobster when I know what it took to get it to my plate 🍽️

Joe one of the things you forgot to mention. Was that the buoy lines have a device on them that separates in case a whale should become entangled. The device is called a break away and separates when there is more then 600 lbs. of pull. There's also a size limit for keepers. Which is between 3 3/8th inches to 5 inches. Five inches and above get thrown back in if in state waters.

Joe you hit a home run. Nice job. Thanks

I sterned for 9 years out of south thomaston maine hard fucking work but had so much fun learned so much would go back in a second to do it

[richgouette]

the outgoing line freaked me out a bit.. felt like he was a reeealy small step away from a deep, dark, cold bath!
Superb video though!

Just wanted to say I am using your video in an assignment for college, yours in the ONLY one I found without music playing. THE only person who is going to watch is my instructor. Used to be my ex husbands sternman.
