Quincy Herring Run
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.

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. |

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

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.

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

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

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!

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.

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 ? "

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.

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.

Btw. My dog is partial to the Quincy Commons. Next time we stroll that way and your lights are on I'll give a knock. Though she's 12 yrs old and prefers to be taken for rides now.
