Theres some places around south county that are extremely trashed up....# 1 trashed up place is the wakefield herring run.. you wouldnt believe what is down there underneath the falls:smash:

Cheferson had this idea a week or 2 ago and I'm bringing it up agian....

Anyone want to participate in a cleanup?? Chef has a truck, I have a truck...
I'm sure I can find some havy duty garbage bags...

whoever picks up the most trash gets to keep the beautiful flexible flyer sled thats in 3 feet of water under the mainstreet bridge:D

I'm thinking next weekend..

who wants to help the herring???? I do :D

I would love to, but I'm in DC for a conference... Maybe if I get back early enough I'll be there...

i'm in, love south county. i have no truck but will help with the clean up. :D

im down, any day accept wed and thurs

i gotta jeep too we can load her up

i,m in. i may also have some trsh bags.:)

Eben,
I'll try to be there, but I'm having some truck problems. In fact if we do it on Sat. I might be able to kill two birds with one stone. Do you know if the service dept at wakefield Chevy is open on Sat.?
I'll definately be at the west wal with RISAA, I did it last year. If anyone is going to go, bring a sgarp knife and.or a hacksaw blade, its the only way to get some of that rope out of the rocks.

Looking for a bargain? This week Sports Authority has a coupon for 25% off any single item in the store, I think this is good until 3/27.

I just cleaned up at Sports Authority this past weekend. They were having a huge clearance sale on certain items 50% off. I scored a 12x7 Coleman tent for $30 as well as other camping gear. Unfortunately the only dept. that didn't have any clearance was the fishing dept.

I'm in..............sunday afternoon is good for me.

Depending on the time and day, i'd like to try and make it down....as long as somebody shows me where the herring run is ;)

All right.... lets shoot for sunday at 10:00 a.m.


This isn't the holy grail of herring runs by the way, its been struggling for some years. If you are in Mass and are wanting to find a new run, this is not the one for you... I'm serious... I've had to wait hours and hours just to grab 3 or 4. :smash: But, with some help in the form of taking the trash out of the run and cleaning it up in general, who knows, it might help:huh:

anyone who wants to participate p.m. me and I'll give you directions

Mako Mike, I have no idea about the chevy guys...:(

I'm heading down to NYC

O.k.

So far I've got P.M.s from Charlie Cinto, Al McReynolds and tony sketzco....

anyone ese???

Funny,
I thought I posted the Sports Auth. post above in the job lot thread, weird....

Guys thank you for helping to clean up South County, it's too bad it's up to the residents to do it because the town workers are too busy playing cards or watching tv. I pick up trash every week on my way to work, and it's amazing how people passing you give you a look like your insane or something.

Wish I could help this weekend but it's a real busy one for me.

as pointed out earlier in this thread I will be leading the RISAA juniors committee group starting at Saltie Brine beach behind Georges. This group could use a few more bodies. So far we're a little slow with committments.

I'm also the Chairman of the Junior Activities Committee and if there are any fishing people here who would like to get their kids involved junior membership is free in RISAA and we're looking to get some nice activities going this year. I will even be doing a plug building day for the kids at my house and donating the materials. The kids can each build 2 one for themselves and one for a parent/friend.

Please come out to the clean up day. We can use the help and DEM will have dump trucks and plenty of bags available.

Armand

You know im down eben. Im gonna try to go help you out to popper. Charlie cinto, that sounds familiar, whos he?

Chef charlie cinto caught a 73 lb bass off cuttyhunk in 67-

it was a joke. :p


179 I know i know :smash: what do we pay taxes for :smash:

I'm looking at this as a nice fun thing to do on a sunday morning....:D

Armand, I'll be there on the 17th too:D

179 I know i know what do we pay taxes for : 4 of a kind with an ace kicker for 4th street . or maybe just so one of the state workers could yell GO FISH .

I would love to help but have plenty of shoreline here in CT that is a dumping ground .

What are the dates we're talking here? My schedule is a bit whacked but I've done several So Co cleanups in the past and might be able to this time...

Eben,
Not looking good for Sunday, but if things change I'll be there.

I should be able to make Sunday at 10:00, how about fish taco's for lunch afterwards :D

ya how is surfin tacos?

Chef, never been there, I was thinkin of the Mist

John R- This sunday at 10:00

Chef surfin tacos is pretty good i give it 1 and 1/2 thumbs up...

cant beat ocean mist though:D


I'm going to go to city hall and see if I can get some dump tags and maybe some bags today.

Whooooaaaa pull the reigns a little----- The one with RISAA is April 17th. A Saturday. Didn't mean to jump the gun guys :)

I'd do it but I got a gig on the 17th - sorry I'll miss the lunch party afterwards.

The Bon Vue used to have great tacos, as I recall...:laughs:

Sunday at ten I'll be there. I'm helping risaa, out with the wall clean up, helped out last yr too. not a member or anything but I helped :D and will help again. :)

Vic empty out your P.M.s Bro... I be tryin to send you one.

The falls isnt a big place so we wont need a big crew... 5 or 10 at the very most.

I have at least 5-7 tags to eben, also i have free trash pickup in my neigborhood, can bring whatever back to my house for pickup if the town doesnt throw ya some tags.

chef thats great, we'll use those tags. I went by there today and there was mucho agua flowing over the falls which has washed some of the trash away but there's still a bunch of junk.... road cones, drywall tape hanging from trees, sleds.... all kinds of wierd stuff.

I'll try too... where you guys meeting up, right at the falls?

yeah at the falls then lunch at the Ocean Mist or the Mews dont matter to me... they both got :gu:

Sounds good, If I'm back from DC and the woman lets me out; I'm there:smash:

Mucho Agua is right, do you think we need waders :confused:

um... got aqua skinz???

:laughs:

when was that? when California Jim's Pond bew a leak?

Can't get one by you :smash:

yes that was from '98 when Cal Jims burst :eek:

:smokin:

Surfin tacos- fish taco 1 thumb up, everything else:yak:

I went to the falls today and took a sniff sniff to see what was going on and it looks like 50% of the trash and crap has been washed down stream and will eventually end up on Goosefish's Oyster lease...... sorry goosefish:huh:

Theres still some junk there though and with a few guys we should get it cleaned up in about a half hour....

It also looks like the river walk boardwalk project is about to get started because there are now a bunch of hay bails all over the river bank....

Thanks to Chefferson and Toonoc for the help! We had the place cleaned up in about 45 minutes.. lots of plastic crap, and if anyone wants to know where they can find a decomposing rat I can help them out :yak:

Good Work Eben and others. The public needs to know that the fishermen are the ones who take care of the shore and not the ones who polute it. Keep up the good work.

I nearly pissed myself when eben picked up this gelatinous mass of a 1ft plus rat!!:biglaugh: :biglaugh: :biglaugh: Did you guys ever make it to the mist? Good to meet ya today toonoc.

Sorry I missed it guys, but it sounds like you were up to the task. :D Maybe we can get together for the RISSA clean up, I did it last year and am planning on doing it again this year. Most likely at the west wall.

Eben,Chefferson,Toonoc good job .

Ya im probally going to the rissa cleanup too.
