Tommy Keister, a fisherman from Friendship, stands up to his knees in live alewives while fishing in a sciff at the Benton Falls Hydro-Electric Dam on the Sebasticook River on May 9, 2013. The fish can be sold at a reasonable bait price to local lobsterman. The alewife is especially good for trapping hard shell lobsters in deeper water because it is a stiffer bait that keeps longer.
