Crew members Keith Lyons (background) and Russell Haner (foreground) toss lobster traps overboard during the setting of one of the strings of 20 traps. The traps are set in depths ranging from 15-20 fathoms (90-120 feet). As lobsters are nocturnal (active at night), the traps are set in the afternoon and retrieved in the morning. |
