Beached Dolphin
Anyone see the beached Dolphin a few days back at a well used South County Spot? Very odd. Don't know how long it was there - wild colors.

Sad. Did you know if anyone called the authorities? Maybe an autopsy could tell what it died of.

It's an Atlantic white-sided dolphin. We ran into a big pod of them on Stellwagen during a whale watch last year. They were all playing in the wake of the boat. Definitely one of the coolest things I've ever seen.

I'm lucky if I can find the water...

It did not go unnoticed by anyone on the beach that day and received plenty of attention from some concerned people. I gotta believe that someone called some sort of authority. My buddy was there the next day and it was gone.

Atlantic White sided it is. Snagged a few with the gill nets a handfull of years back. It was a regular thing along with a few birds and Atlantic Sturgeon and whatever else wandered into the nets.. |

There was one washed up in western SOCO last Fall that was there for a few days and had seemingly been marked by Mystic Aquarium personnel...

We used to be good for one of those a week. Also got a sturgen once as well as a ton of other crazy stuff you get in the nets...
Every make the mistake of gutting while your setting? nothing but birds the next day.

Hey Sluggo.. Did a little gill netting, dragging out of Scituate and lobstered a bit out of Green Harbor. Been awhile although I did do a little bugging last summer. I think the dragging was not as unfriendly to the bycatch as the gill netting thats for sure.
Nothing worse than a gill net fishing for days before you can get back out to pull it. I guess the chunks of net that break loose fish forever...I have known slob commercial guys but just as many who are good guys and fish right...
