Strange year so far

[piemma]

I was WAY up the Providence River one day last weekend and there was a boat from Glouster MA called the Ugly Duck setting nets 100 feet from the hurricane barrier. I called RIDEM Enforcement and they told me I was nuts!

I convinced them I was 10 feet from the boat and they said they would send someone. No one ever showed up and no one got any pogies except the Ugly Duck. Also I noted with disgust the fact that the nets were also full of bass and the crew on the Ugly Duck kept all the bass.

I have given up pogy fishing. Too much work running up to Providence, putting up with idiots in "speed boats" roaring around trying to snag the few pogies that are left. Gone to eels and nights. OUT!

That red boat was netting inside Salem harbor last year too. He even set inside the mooring field in no more than 4 feet of water..... On one set he hauled 96 boxes!
