New Orleans

Crab fishing on Lake Pontchartrain in New Orleans. You can see the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway in the background. It is the longest bridge in the world at 24 miles long.
The fishermen in my photo use traps that they run once a day when the weather lets them. Fishermen run about 200 to 300 traps a day. Hard work because as you can see, all work is by hand from pulling up the trap to baiting to boxing the crabs.

Good shot, Paul. Not easy with a moving object.

Not sure I'd be able to drive across that bridge :( Are they dragging for the crabs?
