Spring Lobster Season Begins
Nothing like the roar of 91 diesel engines throwing 91 lobster boats across the ocean chop to start one’s day. Monday, the 27th of April, and the spring lobster season is under way on Miramichi Bay. Two months of hard work, early mornings and lobster (with any luck). I was lucky enough to get out on Theodore Williston’s boat the Gulf Fisher. Theodore is 79 this year and has been out on fishing boats for as long as he can remember, but he’s as active as ever piloting the boat into the bay, singing and telling stories as he goes, and lending a hand loading the traps when they get back to port. Not an easy event to photograph- holding on to a metal rail with one freezing hand, shooting at high ISO (3200) with the other and bouncing around like you are a cowboy at the Calgary Stampede- not to forget the odd salt water shower to keep your mind focused, but one of those things that not many people get to experience- at least not many people who grew up on the prairies.
