Is that even english?!?
Locally, Waterman is a respected title given to one makes his living from the water, aka Commercial fisherman. The title of Waterman is something you earn. The Waterman of which you speak are commonly referred to as Tourons and Weekenders. :D

BTW:
TFL = Unlimited Tidal Fish License
CB= Crab Harvester License
Snood= a short 4-6? long ?drop? line off the main trot, used to hold the bait (bull lips)
Bull lips = self explanatory. Used to bait the snood
Softie = soft shelled crab.
