Checking for Lobster Eggs
Join a Real Maine Lobsterman on a Lobster Boat Tour from Rockland, Maine
If you've ever wondered what a Maine lobsterman's day is like, come along on this photo tour or book a spot aboard the Captain Jack Lobster Boat Adventure.
In our second trap, we find two nice-sized lobsters that weigh between 2 and 2-1/4 pounds. In addition to measuring each lobster, a Maine lobsterman must check the underside of each lobster for eggs. Egg-laying females are also set free.
