Herring

[piemma]

Yup. In RI but you can guess.

[Got Stripers]

Doesn’t surprise me, nesting ospreys up here are doing nest maintenance

Unpossible.

I was assured - Guar Un Teed - by a former maritime DEM Director that while they may be there, they will not enter the streams until a specific date, with Buckey Brook specifically April 4th.

And if there was a pic of them you'd prob see about 700 giant "endangered" seals eating them like popcorn....... but don't worry, the seals ordered diet cokes.

the scout always come end of Feb , Early April .

when I was OTW all year . . my machine was marking schools of fish .. I always said it was herring .. I know the RUSSIAN FACTORY ships were anchored south of the bridge til at least the end of November ><><<.

Haven’t seen a herring in a run in my area in 20 plus years

From my view it’s the state of MA and local authorities who have allowed the Runs to become overgrown abandoned and in total disrepair
So even if the herring wanted to come back. It’s physically impossible

The last year we could we netted Herring at Gilbert Stuart and put them in the back of my old Blazer in a 30 gallon barrel with an aireator running off the cigarette lighter outlet.

Ran to Sprague Bridge and live lined under the bridge. Oh my God did we catch big girls!!!

Scouts

It’s easy to tell when they’re in Tiverton as 100 cormorants take over Nonquit pond.

There’s a really small run near where my older son had day care. One day I slowly drove by and in this little pond that had formed were blue herons, snowy egrets and crested night herons. It was like a freaking zoo.

Back long ago I would net herrng at the Nonquit Dam and live line at the mouth of the Nonquit stream where it dumped into The Sakonnet.

One morning an old friend, Bob Vanasse and I were hammering large. I started to have a heart attack but had my Nitro bottle around my neck. Handed Bobby my rod with a big girl on and put 2 Nitros under my tongue. Took the rod back and landed a 37# beauty. No big deal.

Pauly Heart Attack

The cormorants will never allow for any runs to rebound. They need to be managed

You told me this story years ago but I didn’t know you had a partner.

Yes Jeff. I haven't seen Bob Vanasse in 15 years. His wife had MS and passed some time back and I heard he moved to AZ.
