Well, an auspicious day, of sorts. The thread tops 200K and that friggin' woodchuck claims he saw his shadow yesterday. Don't you suppose those fellows in PA ever thought of rigging a blanket over him him on sunny days so there would be no shadows!?!? Anything to shorten up winter would be a boon for all of us.
A cool 48 here this AM and windy as hell!
Boo, - Ya gotta admit that dynamiting fish would not be a stealthy method for the average poacher to use. I tried blasting caps when I was a kid on schools of mackerel and I can attest that the method does work well, but then everybody comes running down to the pier to see what blew up and depending on who arrives, you either lose half your catch or else get carted off to the hoosegow and lose all your catch.. And then "they" want to know where you got the blastin' caps and things get rather dicey after that..
If yer gonna be a poacher, ya gotta be stealthy and sneaky, but Game Wardens and Clam Cops don't miss much. I learned early on that the straight and narrow was the best path to take..
