PHOTO ESSAY: Gone Fishing, Part One
Vanguard associate editor Tina Comeau, who also serves as editor of the Sou’Wester fisheries publication, hitched a ride on board her husband’s fishing vessel, Jacob’s Journey, on Friday, May 16 for her first trip out lobster fishing.
The commercial lobster fishery off southwestern Nova Scotia comes to a close on May 31.
The Jacob’s Journey pulled away from the wharf at 5 a.m. and after hauling up 28 trawls of traps – or 400 traps in total – was back at the wharf at 1 p.m.
With two weeks to go in the season, here are some images from her trip in the waters off Pinkney’s Point.
