Description
Summary:During April, George and Mark, his son and sternman, begin setting traps for the season ahead. It's cold and rough on the ocean, and lobsters are scarce. Halibut fishing, permitted for only several weeks of the year, offers George the chance to draw on his carefully accumulated knowledge of where to drop a line. His son, David, works alongside him, deferring to his father's expertise. As George cautiously hauls in his hooks, is there a bite?
