Lobster Season Will Open Friday Morning

The opening of the lobster District 36  has been delayed another day after a conference call this morning with fishermen from every port between St. Martin's and Campobello Island.

The delay is due to the strong Northeast winds expected to persist through tomorrow.

 Friday will be setting day. It gets underway at 6am.
