Have you ever tried to catch lobster? It's really not that hard, all you have to do is throw out a lobster trap with meat for bait and then check up on it every now and then to see if anything has wandered into it. At times you might catch something other than a lobster; i.e. a starfish or an octapus. But when you're putting as little effort into your labors you probably can't expect to bat 100 all the time.

I'll be honest, I've never been out to try and catch lobster. However, I have worked the same way for pretty much all of my life. I will check by every now and then to see if an opportunity has arisen for me to take a hold of, yet so often it will and I'll throw it back into the pool because I felt like I didn't give it enought meat for bait.

It's a whole nother experience to tie the bait to a string and try to get the lobster to grab it. For some reason they don't like to let go once they've latched on, but you have to be a little more patient and you can't just leave it in hopes that they will catch themselves.

I was amazed at how much easier it actually became when I did trow the meat into the pool, dangled it in front of the lobster and kept my fingers crossed that it would grab hold and forget to let go.

We'll see how the seafood fries up once I bring the pot to a boil.
