Snowball Posted November 30, 2015 Report Posted November 30, 2015 Heard on CTV that 3 of them fell overboard and had to be fished out. They were retrieved safely and taken to the hospital to be checked out. Regards, Snowball
misfish Posted November 30, 2015 Report Posted November 30, 2015 Theres going to be some fresh shipments coming to Barrie byes. Thanks for the pics Ron.
Skipper D Posted November 30, 2015 Author Report Posted November 30, 2015 Yes , they say opening day it the most dangerous day of the season , many boats have new Rockies on board , so theirs all ways some that end up going over board and need to be rescued , if they can find them . These three this morning were lucky , they were 80 km's out when they went over

HTHM Posted December 1, 2015 Report Posted December 1, 2015 I had the pleasure of going out on the first pull, never seen so many lobsters in my life.

lew Posted December 1, 2015 Report Posted December 1, 2015 Here's a sad addition to your story Skip, it's a dangerous job out there. http://www.theweathernetwork.com/news/articles/storm-hunter-joins-thousands-in-annual-dumping-day/60484/
Skipper D Posted December 2, 2015 Author Report Posted December 2, 2015 Yes Lew to bad it happens , in a few pm's I had first hand with a cousin over there , a railing broke that let traps , bouys , ropes go over board taking two grew members with it , both were tangled up in the ropes once they hit the water and struggled to get free , one was able to cut him self free with a knife he had in his pocket but was unable to do any thing for his buddy as it was all ready to late for him . Today they were back at shore looking for new equipment so they could get back out and back to fishing .
