Above, you see David Tarr’s Fishing Vessel “Tarrfish,” all cleaned up from the scalloping season and waiting at the Naskeag Harbor docking float for David to bring a load of lobster traps down to the Harbor. He soon came down with a trailer load of traps and took them to the adjacent beach on Naskeag Point.
“Tarrfish” soon came around and was beached beside the trailer. The traps were then handed up to David and his daughter on the boat. When all of the traps were stored on board, “Tarrfish” pulled back and returned to the docking float, probably waiting for another load.
The traps will be taken out into local sea waters, baited and set, and submerged in trap lines to capture the tasty little critters that are on the move now. (Images taken in Brooklin, Maine, on July 9, 2025.)
