Looow Tide

[DZ]

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.

Saw rocks on second beach that are normally just graybrown patches under the water...

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!

Northwest gale pushing lots of water out to sea. Great Salt Pond was just about empty. Very cool.

Shore diggers dream of this tide

[goosefish]

I hear ya clamma

[Clammer]

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 ><><><

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.

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.

Surge was ~3ft at Newport Tide Gauge.
Wicked Set-down along the south shore right now.. 1.7 feet at Newport Tide Gauge
The last breachway was almost empty!

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]

Steamers // wholesale before the storm were $1.00 a pound

G/F >>>>>>>>>>> farms /// talk about competition ///they don,t even have a minium size limit ><><><><
