Ed Scammell - Last Big Cod Trap Haul Scene 1

Just prior to the closure of the East Coast cod fishery, this group of fishermen from Change Islands had a boat load of cod from their cod trap. A cod trap is box-shaped with a length of net called a 'leader' extending from the box. This 'leader' will guide the cod into the entrance of the cod trap.
