Peggy’s Cove is a small rural community located on the eastern shore of St. Margarets Bay in Nova Scotia. Today, Peggys Cove is primarily a tourist attraction, although its inhabitants still fish for lobster, and the community still maintains a rural, undeveloped appearance. A lobster trap is an effective way for fishermen to catch many lobsters at once when lobsters fishing. The trap usually consists of a wooden frame surrounded by a rope mesh. A piece of bait, often fish, is placed inside the trap. The reputation of lobster changed with the development of the modern transportation industry that allowed live lobsters to be shipped from the outports to large urban centres.
