Lobster fishing season in sections 33 & 34 are in Lobster fishing season in sections 33 & 34 are in full swing here on the south shore of Nova Scotia! These sections stretch from Peggy’s Cove to the Digby area and are the longest lobster fishing seasons in the province. The season starts from the last Monday in November until May 31st. 

I’ve already eaten lobster like 5 times since the season started 😂 it’s also a big tradition for my family and many other Nova Scotian to have lobster for the holidays too. We have a huge boil on Christmas Eve and then eat it for lunch on Christmas Day too! We can’t get enough of it!

1. Lobster fishing boats getting ready to go at the government wharf in Wedgeport, Nova Scotia. 
2. Fish heads used to bait the lobster traps. 
3. Stacks upon stacks of traps. 
4. The lobster traps can be so colourful!
5. More traps.
6. Piles of ropes and stacks of traps on a lobster boat getting ready to start the season. 
7. Lobster boats waiting to begin the season!
