Lobster creels are a common site at harbours along the Northumberland coast. Creels have opening which allows lobsters to enter a tunnel of netting to get to bait set in the middle, once inside the creel a lobster is trapped and unable to get out. A typical modern creel is constructed of wood, nylon rope, wire and plastic.
Lobster pots are dropped to the sea floor and marked by buoys which float at sea level and allow the fishermen to retrieve them later.
This is a nicely composed picture, with good forms and good colors. In our area, lobster pots (what you call creels) are more rectangular.
