Quincy Herring Run - Striper Talk Striped Bass Fishing, Surfcasting, Boating

Typhoon · 03-29-2012, 05:54 AM

I just saw that town brook in Quincy has herring in it. People familiar with Quincy, does town brook empty into Black's Creek?

I've seen some of the newer citizens of quincy illegally dip netting further down in Black's Creek.

I'm wondering if they're dip netting for herring.

If so, EPs gonna get a call. I'm going to make sure that I'm down there once a day.

Might be netting grass shrimp?

Even if they are getting shrimp, do you think they would pass on the herring? I doubt it.

I would call and let the EPO's make an appearance and see whats happening.

Smelt?

Typhoon · 03-29-2012, 08:20 AM

I could call once a day on illegal shellfishing at low tide.

Typhoon · 03-29-2012, 08:30 AM

I'm going to help organize a cleanup of town brook in Quincy.

Typhoon,

I'm pretty sure Town Brook empties into the Town River and Furnace Brook empties into Blacks Creek then Wally World.

Typhoon · 03-29-2012, 09:00 AM

Thanks. Either way they riff-raff are hanging out at the Furnace Brook parkway bridge and dip netting for something.

I'm going to investigate with my cell phone camera.

JohnR · 03-29-2012, 09:45 AM

It's been 15 years since I have lived there but late smelting is something to be considered - though I think that is now out of season

Typhoon · 03-29-2012, 09:50 AM

The smelting crowd and the dip netting crowd are two very distinct demographics.

FishermanTim · 03-29-2012, 10:12 AM

What harm would it do to have them check it out?
Heck, at the very least it would get them to check for licenses.

As we are all too familiar knowing that there are always going to be people that don't know the fishing rules and don't care to learn them because they won't ever get a license to do so.

Make the call!

Piscator · 03-29-2012, 10:17 AM

I made some calls and texts to my friends on the QPD for frequent checks. Reaching out to EP's will help even more as they are closer to the laws and regs.

MAKAI · 03-29-2012, 11:02 AM

I walk the dog across that little bridge over blacks creek often.
The men squat down near the edge chain smoking lucky strikes and send the women underneath with fine mesh dip nets. You wouldn't believe the amount of grass shrimp they put in the coolers. along with anything with a molecule of protein in it.

I made a guy throw a 20 " bass back in the water near there after telling him he'd be swimming too if he didn't.

" Feesh dat big trow back ? " " No way ! "

" Me no know ? "

Typhoon · 03-29-2012, 11:09 AM

Makai, you don't happen to live Willet st do you?

There's a truck on Willet st with a S-B sticker , with a guy that walks his dog.

I live on Cummings Ave.

Piscator · 03-29-2012, 11:12 AM

What time of day does this happen?

QPD will do checks but they don't have training or enforcement powers in that area (Furnace Brook Pky is also a State road). They can deter but can't do much else. The key is to inform Environmental Police.

No sticker on the buggy, but I probably walk the dog past your house also.

Can't miss the dog, she's as screwed up as me.

Someone's dog sh1ts every day in my grass area.

Can't miss my house I'm the only nitwit in Quincy who flys a first navy jack flag and a swordfish on the garage. Stop by and say hello.

Is your house the oldest in commission on your block?

Awesome!! , I loved it when the Navy reinstated the use of the First navy Jack after 9-11 on all commissioned Ships and Subs in recognition of the Navy's committment to the Global War On Terrorism.

I've seen herring in the town brook in Quincy Center a few times, but not for a couple of years. Doesn't mean that they are not there, just haven't seen them -

Gee Andrew.
You go on FB last week announcing your wife is expecting/pregnant and from reply there you got yourself in the dog house with the wife for not getting her approval of the announcement, now your posting a pic of your house and in the thread naming your street.
Think it's time to step away from the computer ?

I agree, I should've not put my street name. I guess that is pretty naive.

I actually welcome meeting new people, hence why I encourage people walking their dog by my house to introduce themselves. I'm the king of networking, hence the job in sales.

JohnR · 03-30-2012, 06:53 AM

Typhoon - when you get advice from someone that that talks too much on the internet it is something to consider. Oh, hi Ronnie

I'm certainly not going tell the world my wife is pregnant and post pic of my house & street name where she sleeps at night on the Internet.

in California the old trick was to put a sealed Jar 3/4 full of water
on the lawn... i don't know why but dogs won't go there.

the other trick although it will burn some grass is to pee in another
jar and sprinkle it early on his spot in the morning
which claims it in his mind as YOUR territory

dogs are scent ruled!
