Hey.. hows about last year??.. they were paying guys not to shellfish, ... buddy of mine with a commercial digger permit, ( and like most diggers, he only does it for "side money")...gets a form in the mail, fills it out...based on his previous years slips, he gets a nice fat check....all because of Red Tide.... he has a bad back..(as most long time diggers do)... he is not kidding... he is truly hoping for long time Red Tide closures again... just getting the same amount of dough in the mail, for filling out a form...is a LOT easier on the old back....

How can us who drive the beaches, get a check for having it closed 90 plus days a summer???

I mean WTH.. anymore room on the gravy train???

If there is, Karl, give me a shout - I just might start thinking about emigrating to the Promised Land

I could get paid for not digging and not fishing...yeah, that's the ticket...

Hey, there aren't any border guards on the Sagamore Bridge are there...

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
