Lobster Hunt

An abundance of Lobster as we headed out late this afternoon to find some lobster.

 A late afternoon, spur of the moment decision had us heading out to find some lobster for Pete’s last night on island before he leaves tomorrow for Kentucky. I wish we could say that we actually caught them ourselves!!!  No such luck as we motored off towards Five Cays and the fish plant knowing we could hail some boats and get some lobster the lazy man’s way. We whistled to a local fishing boat and they had a few lobsters on board.

 

We managed to hail a small local fishing boat.

 As the fishing boat drew near, we could see that their catch for the day was not huge. In past years the boats would be filled……………over harvested perhaps???

A nice, one man dinner sized lobstertail.

Do you think anyone will believe Barry when he tells them he dove and caught several lobsters?

Once we had bargained over the price for the lobsters, we stopped at Bay Cay for refreshments. It’s hard work negotiating you know!!!

Baskets of freshly caught lobster tails waiting to be sold out at the Fish Plant. Plan on a delicious lobster dinner this evening as all the Provo restaurants will be serving lobster tails.
