  1. I lost a total of 17 birds to a weasel this year. I agree, they kill for the thrill. I havent gotten him yet and I consider myself a pretty humane individual but hes passed that now.
  2. I have never had a problem in Worcester. Its convenient that the DOR is the next door over. Parking is easy. I have had the same woman at the desk each time. I had a couple of doozy complicated registrations but they all went smoothly in my opinion. The one time I did use boston was a nightmare.
  3. We have had chickens for 8 years now. I built a little coop 6x8 and put a 6x12 dog kennel on the side with another panel on top. We have yet to have anything get in. We let them free range a couple times a week. Foxes have taken more of my chickens than anything else. Lost a couple to hawks. I can tell you that the foxes seem to come around when my dogs haven't been home for a few days. My lab covers a lot of territory on my 10 acres. When her scent is around, the foxes are not. The foxes will sit and wait to ambush. Incredible hunters as I have watched one run across the yard and snap 4 necks and take the last one. Once they are safely stash that kill, they will come back and get the others.
  4. The test for ethanol concentrations in fuel is very simple, cheap and accurate( can be bought on amazon). I know I would be checking all fuel before filling up my boat. Most dock fuel claims ethanol free. I trust nobody.
  5. Your kidding right??? I was on Cleveland from 6 am to noon on Sunday. Maybe 2 dozen boats. I did see quite a few down by Mattapoisett but to far to count. Fishing was far from lights out but we easily caught our limit and threw back all females.
  6. Spotted a loon at Wallum Lake in Douglas this past Sat
  7. I received the email from the Division of Marine fisheries. Final verdict was to bump Black Sea Bass up an inch and reduce to 4. Fluke gets a 1/2" size reduction and scup get a 1" increase. It really seems like an awful work around. The seabass last year were tiny around the entrance of Buzzards Bay almost every time I tried for them. Fluke isn't being helped by a 1/2" decrease. And lets face it, anyone fishing for and keeping scup for the most part don't have a tape measure. Beyond disgusted but getting used to it.
  8. Jason I was one of the ones that met you. After i walked out, my wife said we should book a trip with you. Go figures. Ill be in touch for a westport trip!
  9. Without enforcement this is all kind of moot. Last year was one of my worst years for sea bass. I could find thousands of small fish in May and June at places I was normally not needing to measure in years past. I see the same crowded boats pulling in the same fish but not many splashes back in. Regs are just keeping the honest guys honest.
  10. Have you seen lithium mines or the disposal of wind farm veins?
  11. Cast some small trout lures right off the boat ramp.
  12. Head down to webster lake instead. Wallum re-opens the second Saturday in April.
  13. Guys how often do you find yourselves twisted by bordering states with differing regulations. I see this being an issue with tautog and seabass in particular. Guys running from New London and fishing to say race light or fishers are in a bit of a predicament arent they? Am i over thinking this? I want to try some new things this year and certainly dont want to get jammed up.
  14. Mercury is the one contaminant that i keep my eye on.
