lobster spearing Maritimes 
See quote.
- 1862 When I speak of lobster spearing, do not imagine . . . that a sharp-pointed steel weapon is the instrument of capture . . . [but] a long-forked pole, which, when pressed hard over the back of the fish, holds him in its embrace till you can draw him from the water.
