Nor-Easter #4

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.

be safe guy's,what a weird winter for sure.

Well maybe now you can find the time to fill my order?

real fun sugaring around here to.the one pic with the pipeline, theres a barrel under the snow somewhere catching sap. along with that we are in the middle of an arctic blast LOL.

Must have been big trees, tuck in and stay Safe!

thats jersy cords 330 lol

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.

You go'n to The Elafant Trunk ?

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

Then I will be back in the 60’ boat that I normally run after April

You do anything with the body after you shuck the muscle ? I bet they would make great eel pot bait.

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.

we cant buy a snow

Another 6-12" forecasted for here now Wednesday. Fter being down Morgan's way this weekend and still coming home to snow still on the ground and the forecast...enough already!

at 126 inches of snow for this winter,we have gotten more than Buffalo,NY.

What's the name of the boat? We'll be out that way Monking the end of April

In April I will be running the Ryan William a 60’ steel single drag boat. Black

Gotcha my Boat is the Risky Business you'll probably see us on the AIS

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

Its about time they stop this stuff. We get the cold front edges down to here. I hate wearing socks with my flip flops.

Looks like global warming to me!

Landlubbers, Monk Fish = Poor mans lobster

Supposed to hit us tomorrow night, saying 8 plus inches.

Then something else sunday night.

Sitting on 20in. 12 on the way 50mph winds.

Man ol man give us a little break 50???? We are all ready to sail just need grub and ice but with a forecast of 50 mph that will surly postpone our plans

Believe I would move to Chocowinity.

just saw they have plans already to shut most big rds down in the southern half of PA.Hopefully they are just getting jumpy but not looking good for the east coast.
