Draggers Taking Out
There were several western rigged draggers at the end of Straight Wharf yesterday. Three were taking out. A local fish buyer was unloading their catch of cod, yellowtail and lobsters.
Draggers all lined up at Straight Wharf-

This old girl is in VERY VERY VERY rough shape. It's a wonder she's still floating. I've never seen a boat in such disrepair-

Nub War Update 4
Here's the latest on the nub war. There was an emergency meeting last night with the scallopers, SHAB, the selectmen, the Marine Department and the State Biologist. A proposal will be brought to the Division Of Marine Fisheries tomorrow. The proposal will ask that the scallopers could take a scallop no less than two and a half inches from the hinge to the top of the shell. The scallop must have a raised annual growth ring as well. Any scallops that do not meet those criterias must be returned. This is good news for the fishermen. We will learn our fate sometime tomorrow.

The Eve Of Commercial Scalloping
Well, everyone is just about ready for the big day of the start of commercial scalloping tomorrow. The nub issue was the talk of the waterfront today. We will learn our fate on that issue after the SHAB meeting on Tuesday, November fourth. I was down at the docks today and grabbed a few pictures.
