I am on the Maine coast. Last year some young entrepreneurs decided to make some lobster money the easy way. Just row into a lobster pound at night ( a pound is a pond that they keep their catch ) and steal all you want. It worked..for a while. What these geniuses did not think of is this is a small community. We know everybody. Sure enough, a sternman and his friend were caught. ( a sternman is the guy who hauls the traps, sorts, reloads and launches ).

Any where near VASSALBORO? ;-P

Very satisfying scene in John Casey's Spartina where he catches someone stealing his lobsters and lights into their plastic cruiser with a claw hammer.

Ahhh - mmm - and?

There’s a ‘law of the sea’ up here regarding poaching other fisherman’s catch/pots...and it usually ain’t pretty.

ARe you leaving something out? ;o)
