View Full Version : Looow Tide
For those of you near the RI Coastline - very low tide right now
(12:30 PM). Lots of structure visible that is very seldom out of the water. Probably the same for the next few days.

spence 02-16-2007, 12:50 PM Does anyone know the storm surge on Wed?
My barograph had bottomed out and at high here (~5pm) it was really, really up for a small tide.
Monday looks to be a big swing!

goosefish 02-16-2007, 02:20 PM Northwest gale pushing lots of water out to sea. Great Salt Pond was just about empty. Very cool.
Clammer 02-16-2007, 02:30 PM Shore diggers dream of this tide :jump1:
goosefish 02-16-2007, 02:35 PM I hear ya clamma
Clammer 02-16-2007, 02:42 PM yup /use to be worth it but at 10 -12 cents each //
500 pieces >>>>>>>>> $50 bucks
25 years ago 500 pieces ... W/B $125.00 //25 years ago 125 /// was big money //.
this is a nother example of part of the fishing industry going down the tubes;;
G/F ...I know you know what,s causing this ><><><:wall:
goosefish 02-16-2007, 02:57 PM Florida. That and how they work the openings up here. Too many dudes flooding the market at once.
The money is in diving on soft shells. But even that, with Maine...........it goes on and on and on aand on.
If only I had a sea scallop permit to sell. I'd be sitting pretty. Them things are worth BIG BUCKS. We'll hammer that fishery soon enough. But at least guys have made some good money the past four, five years. Talk about dull--you ain't making any money if your head is looking up. Keep that knife going boy. Keep that knife going. Advil is down below, keep popping 'em.
Mr. Sandman 02-16-2007, 03:28 PM According to "the" calendar the new moon is coming up on Sat with the Perigee on the 19th....I bet you see even a lower tide in the next couple days.:bl2:

25 years ago retail steamers were around $.29 per pound, today they are $5.99 per pound at Hannafords.........something way wrong with this picture.
Clammer 02-16-2007, 05:23 PM Steamers // wholesale before the storm were $1.00 a pound
