I wonder if they're closing the GI bridge to fishing, with squid around the corner, the NY/CT/MA guys are out. That will give RI'ers the entire bridge... even if it's just 5 guys at a time , (with the others waiting in their cars for the rotation of course). I'm sure you'll see a police presence there...

Curious to hear how that's going to play out.
Are boat ramps closed in RI? Even those not in State parks?

...it finally happened, there are no more secret spots

Even though we had three days of decent weather, I used two to get some sealer on all the carvings I had done and a bench I'm refinishing, but yesterday I finally got back out on the water. It was a beautiful day, the eagles were flying on occasion, the big pickeral were everywhere and with water temperatures finally climbing into the low fifties, a couple nice smallies decided to come shallow to feed. Near the end of the day a pickeral took a hair jig deep and wasn't going to make it, so I gave him a chuck suspecting the eagle sitting on top of a pine a couple hundred yards away might take interest. Once I moved to a distance he felt safe coming down for dinner, I got a good look with the binoculars as he took the pickeral back to the nest.

ps to John: I've asked before and haven't got the answer. I post first uploading this picture and didn't preview and notice on posting the picture is upside down. I go back, open the picture in paint, rotate (even though it looks fine) 90 degrees twice to correct, delete original, upload again even though it's now upside down and it posts upside down. I delete pic, open in paint rotate back to the way it was originally, upload again and it's now perfect. So why does this happen?

Here are a couple pieces I finished off in self confinement over the past couple nice days.

ps to John: So I upload all three, preview, all three are on their side. I go to paint, rotate each to mirror that position, even though I know it's wrong, close a save. I open each again in paint, rotate back to vertical and the original, close and save, upload again here and they are upright as they were, am I the only one seeing this?

Sane? The middle one is a stay at home self portrait.

One thing I really miss about confinement is a good haircut. Anyone out there resort to cutting your own hair yet? Thinking about getting one of those cut your own hair kits.
