b-ware Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 I was under the impression that Joe G. knew everything. You might be right Stewie but isn't the Simpson's a TV show???????????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdowning Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 I still want to know how the hell Joe G knew about Simon's Narrows? I dunno, but there are no fish there. -bd Pfantum Pfishah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robc22 Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Doesn't matter.....the salter fishery on the cape is done for the most part.....don't mean to sound negative but it is what it is.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pogie_boy Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 interesting read for anyone curious about the history of the spit... note also that Sampson's Island (though I though perhaps was at one time might have been part of Poppy spit) has changed very similarly to Popponesset. http://chl.erdc.usace.army.mil/Media/8/2/0/CERC-MP-93-9.pdf DITCH TROLL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slacktide Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Like someone said names change with time and so do places. Old timers used to talk about fishing point to point at Popponesset, which was all the way over to Waquoit jetties. In 1831 maps were just the best guess. Poket point is a bigger mystery than Sampson's narrows. Yes there still are salters on the Cape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isleomaniac Posted January 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 I think I have a pretty good idea where Poket point is, as more was described and written about that location. Its all private property now, but you could access it by boat or kayak. Salters went the way of the buffalo especially since they were catching them by the bushel basket in the 1800's didn't help. But just like the buffalo they are making headway and coming back slowly. Worm Hatch Inspector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slacktide Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Glad to hear that others have an interest in these fish. Numbers may be down from days of yore but with some help they can rebound. Just practice catch and release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
