Went to catch squid yesterday..
 

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.

link no worky for me anyway

that is such bull crap!

raven you may need the plugin for it.

Here ya go with a capture from the live cam.

.....sounds about right Skip....

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.

We,ll that,s 2 more than we got Monday nite ;

we thought it was gonna snow :smash:
