Lobster catches remained spotty throughout last week. All of the Catch a Piece of Maine lobstermen managed to haul through their traps atleast once during the week. Captain John Ready and I enjoyed the Maine spring weather as we shifted our traps towards the rocks off of Portland Headlight. Captain Ted, Captain Curt and Captain Randy all were forced to move their traps away from their favorite spring areas due to a potential northeast storm heading our way this week. The northeast winds bring heavy seas and waves that destroy lobster traps that are in too shallow of water. Captain Bobby and Captain Jeb are fishing the deeper water and saw a few promising signs last week as they reported a high number of "shorts" (undersized lobsters) in their traps. Hopefully the larger legal sized lobsters will end up in their traps next. We're all planning on heading back out in our boats wednesday for another day of lobstering. -Captain Brendan
