Lobstering has a special place in the heart of the photographer. It is/was the occupation of his father, his grandfather, and himself in coastal Massachusetts, USA. Here are some pictures of inshore and offshore lobstering. The photo in the upper left corner of the home page is of the family lobsterboat on Christmas morning.
Lobster fishing is conducted along much of the Atlantic seabard of the United States, but it exists only along the edge of the continental shelf off the southern states of Virginia and North Carolina, in the form of offshore lobstering. In contrast, in the New England states and Canada, lobsters can be caught even in traps that are out of the water at low tide, trully inshore lobstering!
