Here we go again. Got a window today to tend my nets.Then I wont be able to get out for 3 maybe 3-4 days. OH the life of a Pro trapper,commercail fisherman.
At least I wont have to worry about any more trees comming down in the yard. Their all cut up now. Just have to split'm up. Got about 4-5 cord out of 3 trees.

Newt I was hoping this crap would start turning. I am heading down in your neck of the woods to kill some scallops off Cape May but considering the size of this new ride I am very limited in the weather I can fish 35-40 is a little more then I care to deal with.

Just north of the Elafant tunk 2-7 miles in the Mid Atlantic Access Area. I have two trips at 14.400 lbs each and in a 45’ boat so I will be there for awhile

Never argue with a fool - they will drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

The gut of the scallop and the shells get tossed back we only keep the muscles

Part of the gut can be toxic at times. More so on mud bottom like many areas in Maine so we can’t bring them ashore. High in red tide. When I first started I was 8 or so my neighbor wanted some for her chickens. The next morning they were all dead. But for eels they may be fine. I catch a pile of strippers on them. We used a lot of chicken parts as a kid for eel trapping worked good. And crushed up muscles too worked well.

Well good luck to you. I keep a few munkfish myself for the freezer from that area the last two days of the trip. Had some last week while I was ice fishing. Rolled in flour and fried in hot grease
