What a joke... 2 squid for my hour and change.. dragger in front of rose island scooping up on the incoming tide... Why are these squid boats allowed to come into bay?


I don't know if this is the same boat as yesterday but this is a live cam.

Umm..

are you talking about the big red boat in the middle of the frame?
thats one of the old light ships. She's been moored there for a while. I don't think she's fast enough to catch up to a swimming squid....

I see a grand banks trawler type steaming on the right side of the frame, and a work barge near the bridge... maybe a small lobster boat there now south of the lightship... which one is raping the ocean?

you don't typically see a lot of boats dragging squid in the bay....

I watched for a bit and didn't see it come back..

Between the bridge and the island I saw it make 2 passes or should i say travel to the bridge and then towards the island (20-30 minutes or so as i was feeding my daughter and had the cam link on). The ship was blue with a white cockpit. It had 2net bars and 1 large net drum in the rear. both net bars were out... the net had what looked like floats..

I should have said that big red boat hasn't moved since Wednesday when i first checked the link.

Sorry if my description of boat gear is off but i'm pretty sure you know what i am referring too.
