I like fatcow launched out of the same ramp and he is 100% on there was always 3 epos there checking fish...and an FYI the epos also spread out to just about all the other ramps. I had numeriouse buddies state that they where checked at the small ramps...and there they had every fish measured before they where allowed to leave the ramp.

bigbuck28 I hope you took your father along for some of the fun on the water.

He must be tired of catching those small fish over at Peter's Pond?

YOU KNOW IT... he was out there a few days with me and he DIDNT even puke. He had his patches and braclets on..

bigbuck29 Does pops get sick??? If so he may want to try some ginger capsules before he goes out on the water.
This is an old seafarers remedy, that when ever we used to go out into the deeper water we found to have some merits. It can be bought at most drug stores. For me It worked a whole lot better then the pressure point application approach or the the behind the ear med.

Then again with all of your background ,
Maybe you could work up an emergancy shot ???

ll have to have him try that bc he makes a great chummer....

Chumming is a critical part of fishing , especially when the bite is slow. Then again if you have the magic bullets any thing can happen.

I can vouch for the fact that the EPO's assigned an extra officer to the area making it three. There were some very dramatic and serious law enforcement actions taken this year. They also had a boat out with the fleet as well. Did that eliminate the cheaters...hell no. I hope everyone with all this experience is ready when the next time we get a hearing to clean out the bad apples from the rod and reel fleet.

Also....there was a pretty significant commercial bite on Scorton Ledge (as usual) over the last two commercial weeks...just saying it wasn't all Chatham.

Passing on the comm season this year for me was the best move. I think pin hookers end up with a conversation piece and never a dime to show for it. .95 a lb for scup and bumped it up to 800lbs a trip...still not worth it. just ask mike who's shopping for a motor.


The money, time and aggravation in exchange for actually enjoying what you do,, you can't put a price on piece of mind.

Perhaps the EPO's were at Chatham, but at the several other areas none were ever seen. The Coast Guard did have a plane out doing some picture taking, where the three mile limit line is. Perhaps they spotted some of the poachers and that would be a good thing if were able to identify the boats. You can always look to next years season, where the talk is about going to a 36 inch min. limit. The use of nets would seem to be the way to go, during the period of time, but then again how can you enforce another regulation that up to this time still has not been fully implimented.
