This might be a major snafu for alot of anglers and local businesses. Whats the story? Are they really going to dredge during the herring run? That should help rebuild the run.....NOT. With all the dirty water and the silt plume that the dredges cause the beaches are going to be a lot more crowded because there will be huge areas of the canal where NO Fishing will be the rule for the time being. What a Pain in the ass and the timing by the COE couldn't be any worse. This is not a good thing.

I kind of think it's a good thing that only double hull tankers will now go through there . Bummer that certain canal area will be "off limits", but thats what needs to be done to let these "safer" boats through the passage.
The canal bottom contours will change, and,in time, new fishing "holes" will be created.

How do you dredge lead?

Sounds like a necessary thing (though the impact seems to be underestimated)

You wouldn't believe how many people walked up to me at RISAA and asked what the hell was going on :rotflmao:

Got me :faga: ... unfortunately for us here in Housatonic country the dredging and dumping iwasn't a fools day joke. Our ct DEP is the joke :bsod: Our herring and holdovers are getting almost a 1000 csf's of shat dumped on em daily...

I just emailed 2 people before I got to the bottom of the thread!! I took it hook line and sinker!! You guys are bad!:btu:

Got me, ha ha.
After reading bout the 'real' dredging at Green Harbor, I didn't even think of april fools.

WELL DONE!!!

Just think of how many tax dollars were expended and local "friend" representatives called by irate anglers wondering WTH is going on :hihi:
