| A little read that seems to go well with the up coming Lostah Wars Scenario ......
Another Summer of Lobster Trap Wars along the Coast of Maine?
I read in The Huffington Post several days ago that two lobster boats have been sunk in Friendship, Maine. As the article states, "Investigators don't know if the attacks were the result of a personal vendetta or a territorial feud. At the least, they've brought unwanted attention to this fishing community 75 miles northeast of Portland." Could this be the start of another summer of trap wars along the Maine coast?
Of the various lobster fishing subjects I have written about in my new book, How To Catch A Lobster In Down East Maine, trap wars and the various unwritten rules of lobster fishing will likely be among the most interesting for readers. The cultural dynamics of small-town fishing communities along the coast of Maine are fascinating. The concept that local resources, including jobs, land and fishing grounds, should be reserved for local people is deeply rooted in the community mindset. People “from away” who encroach on local fishing territories are seen to be taking resources away from that community. Lobster fishermen usually defend their fishing turf by means of vigilantism. Sometimes they even resort to violence.
The term 'trap wars' or 'territory wars' is often used to describe the methods lobster fishermen use to defend their fishing ground. These methods can range from cloak-and-dagger molestations of other fishermen's gear to ramming boats and brandishing firearms. The Huffington Post article makes reference to the summer of 2009, when trap wars were especially extreme and violent in nature. In various fishing communities along the Maine coast that summer, traps were cut and boats were sunk. On the remote island of Matinicus, one fisherman even shot another in the neck in the midst of a heated trap war (A jury later found the assailant not guilty of elevated aggravated assault).
Though stories like the above make for good reading, violence is usually a small part of the daily lives of Maine lobster fishermen. Even Matinicus, which has garnered a bit of a reputation for outlaw behavior, is largely just an island of hardworking fishermen with the strength of spirit to survive an isolated way of living.

| Scoring will be money based, so spend it wisely to get the best return on your investments. Sink the other family's boats, bait and harvest your trap lines while fighting over disputed fishing areas. Weather is looking awesome for the first scenario of the year!!
Come on out and try this new money format.... lots of fun for all I'm sure.
6/23/12 10-4 (be ready to hit the field by 11:00 ... showing up late will leave you needing to catch up on the game) Paint is 45.00 per case field fees - 15.00 with your own gear. 25.00 if you need to rent.

| That wuz good fishing/hunting lively skirmishes. Thank you all for rekindling the spirit of this "old guy" I have 13 welts to remind me of how much fun I had, and why I hate "BOUNCES" only three breaks aka "outs" I'll try to post a picture of Cookie as he has very few blemishes but my hide is another story, four nice raised WELtS no breaks.
Thank you to the staff of Field 51 for providing another great day, weather, plot/scenario, general good time.
and thank you to the Blue Elder for having a good game plan, and exceptional team skills. i also want to thank Killa-Kate for so very game adventures, assaults, and cover a 1st rate 1st mate and all the other Blue folks well played, I apologize for loosing focus in the last session, too much sun brain fried, accept for having me trying to steer a boat all day, it wuz a great plan I'll do better next time, maybe a shock collar will help. till we share more paint all be well
