By Karla Kelly FOR THE DIGBY COURIER NovaNewsNow.com With lobster traps stacked on the Saulnierville wharf, buoys and coils of rope ready and boats tied alongside, several fishermen were making final preparations Saturday for the 6 a.m. dumping start Monday to the annual lobster season in southwestern Nova Scotia.

Topics :: Par-En-Bas , Melbourne

Many of the lobster fishermen will bait and load their traps at high tide Sunday morning in order to be ready for the early morning trip out Nov. 30.

Jason Pothier from Melbourne fishes out of Saulnierville on the Par-En-Bas and spent time completing last minute tasks on the wharf Saturday and said he hoped Monday’s weather is as predicted.

The marine forecast is for light winds Monday morning increasing to south 20 knots in the afternoon.
