When we first put them in, readers may remember, we dropped our pots off the northwestern coast of Great Diamond Island. Over the course of the last month or so, we’ve gradually migrated them northward toward Cow Island, finding the catch more reliable along the rocky ledge there.
Cow Island is not without its risks however. The shelted cove off the western side of Cow is home to a mooring field favored by local day-trippers, a “cocktail cove” they call it. My recent loss of two traps from that area is evidence enough of the risks.
