There a massive unattended fish trap right off the mansions.
Dead rotting fish stuck it the net. Decomposing, stinking, slick a mile long, birds everywhere.
So close that I couldn't go in between the trap and the rocks. I had to go around.
The neighborhood must love that!

You really have to be careful around those things. There is obviously a problem if that was the case. I have never seen them in anything but an actively fished condition.I am guessing there are some fluke under there having a party.

Guppy 05-28-2014 03:39 PM

Shame!
I miss seeing them out there on the south side of C Cod and the boats coming in with guys standing knee deep in macs and calamari :uhuh:

thefishingfreak 05-28-2014 07:44 PM

Plastic drums for buoys .
at least the guys up here use beer kegs so they show up on radar. I wouldn't want to find it the hard way in the dark
