They're LOADED, LOADED, LOADED!!!!!!!!!!
And now only the poachers and trawlers can get them .
But if it means my boys will be able to see their kids play with em, it'll be worth it. Here's my oldest son shaking hands with one its way up stream.

I've checked a local big run pretty frequently and it's been loaded with cormorants since late March though this week. I've only "seen" serious fish activity once, but if the birds are there...

It should definately make things easier for Law Enforcement to govern the runs...no-one really has reason to be at one unless they're site seeing for whatever reason . ..

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

I have yet to see any on the CT river this year. The one spot I usually find them around this time of the year has had too little water to bring them in. The rain we have had the past few days will help, though. I'll be out Monday looking for them for sure.

Shaking hands with one? Looks like he's squeezing the sh t out of it!
