Commercial Crab Fishing Newfoundland

A commercial fishing boat patiently waiting for the pack ice in Conche Harbour in Newfoundland, Canada to melt so that they can fill their crab pots with fresh crab.

Every year the commercial fishing boats sit idle in the harbour of Conche in Newfoundland, Canada as pack ice has moved in and they wait for the melting process which can take a few months. The fishing boats are loaded up with their crab pots and fishing gear in preparation for the earliest opportunity that they are able to leave the harbor.
