Lobster Fisherman's Gear at Conch Key


A color photo taken in June 1973 of a lobster fisherman's gear at Conch Key during the off-season, at which time the fishermen repair their traps and repaint their floats. Each man has an identifying color and number. Thousands of traps are stored all over the little island.
