Living in America

I noticed the last time I filled my boat with diesel that the price had risen slightly. I am wondering if this is a sign that it is time for those that Read the rest of this entry »

Has anyone made money blogging for others and will it work for the average person?

I have seen so many things Read the rest of this entry »

We see those signs beside the road as we drive around. I even posted here that I have a small lot in South Bristol, Maine that I would like to sell.

This is “Admiral Chris” whom I get my pogies from. I call him admiral as he owns several boats. I must say, pogies can’t be gotten any fresher and if you are looking for pogies for lobster bait in the Portland, Maine area, just look him up. I can contact him for you, if you contact me through this site.

The “admiral” is the one on the left in this picture.

The young man on the right is one of his crew. He has a great crew. I have gotten bait from him quite a few times and continue to do so whenever I can.

I put some of the pictures I took for those that have never seen pogies taken from the net. I must admit this is the manual way with a dip net, and the large boats use pumps for the fish but Chris catches a large amount of fish. He sells super reasonable compared to many places and in what is a reasonably bad year for lobster fishing has really helped me and a few others out with the cost of bait.

Pictures of chickens are all over the internet. I do like the Murray McMurray Hatchery site as they show very nice pictures of adult as well as baby chicks for many breeds.

This picture shows most of the breeds I have but these are hens, and naturally with some breeds, the roosters look quite different.

The second from the left is a Rhode Island Red hen, the 3 in the front and center are Silver Laced Wyandottes, and the lighter reddish brown hens are New Hampshire Reds. Also shown are a few Plymouth Barred Rock hens. I personally like the New Hampshire or Rhode Island Red the best. The New Hampshire Reds are slightly lighter in color, almost strawberry blond instead of the mahogany like the Rhode Island’s but from what I have seen the laying characteristics are about the same. I just happen to like the lighter color. Read the rest of this entry »

I recently called a number for a person looking to work on a lobster boat as a “stern man” which is nothing but a helper on a lobster boat.

I didn’t ask many questions but explained the job. I got the number from someone who advertised on “craigslist” which Read the rest of this entry »

I get most of my equipment used for fishing, at least for my boat at Hamilton Marine Supplies in Portland, Maine. I mention them only Read the rest of this entry »

It probably sounds foolish for someone like myself to question the decisions and opinions of the experts, but I think they are out in left field on this one. I have been around lobstering for a great many years. I don’t see Read the rest of this entry »

This is the dealer I went through to get mine. I didn’t buy directly from him but he provided the information on where to buy.
