Last season I was on ice for almost 5 months so add another 2.5 Jack.
I'll take 5 months of ice over 2 months of HOT !!
I only wish the daylight lasted more , I'd never sleep.
I haven't tallied up the clam count but it's over 400. Abot 75 are chowder clams though. It was tough going in beginning but we located the sweet spot the last 2 days of digging.

Some farm and garden :
stuff :
Dang deer knew I was away and decided to chew on my garden and Apple trees, yea my fault for not fencing in. I got work to do tomorrow.
The pigs are RIPE !! My caretaker made a huge mud pit and they are rolling in that.
I do have a clam bake on Tuesday and Wednesday. Next year I will probably raise I hog to roast this time next year.

Gotta run. Pool is calling
So long to Rhode island

Post likely does not belong here but this is where I'm gonna put it  --
Been lurking on that 'other' forum for a long time since a regular I  respect suggested a peek.
Sorry to see it closing as those were hard fishing folks over there with a strange sense of humor that I liked.
Never quite came to joining as one place seemed enough.
Cant find it today at all and it was reported as closing soon.
Good fishing and lots of fun to all those guys-tight lines----

2B and I are regular lurkers here!  Hope all is well with U!

The owner of the "other" site built it himself and paid for its maintenance, and he said he was tired of keeping it up, as his other business interest were taking a lot more time.  He seemed like a pretty good guy and he enjoyed a lot of fair and honest fishing in the salt and the streams of PA, and made dynamite looking spinners.  I wondered if he was fishing for someone to take over, but I have the computer skills of a land snail.  There was some talk that the ISP would not get around to deleting it for a while, so I am sure there were a few surprised individuals when the day after the "lease" ran out, it had disappeared.  For the most part, it was a guy named Harvey who I suspect is also regular here, and Two Bob and I that pushed the ethical and legal side of salmonid fishing, there were some guys who are on the fence, and the vast majority, especially most of the PA and NJ regulars, were out and out snaggers, even if they think it is OK to snag fish up toward the head and around the mouth, and call it force feeding or flossing.   Every now and then I would get a useful tidbit of information there, but for the most part it was a source of aggravation, like Salmon Crazy before it.  

Eagerly awaiting the first SR Salmon report- actual report- not somebody said.
Sure to be immediately followed by a gas shortage at pumps in northern NY leading to the Sr area.
To be immediately followed by poor reports as a fish or two don't make a run.
Also the immediate thawing out of 'past due' frozen foods by area eateries to feed the masses.
Also the occasional pro report wherein a small pod of 5 fish travelling up is made out to be said run.
Followed by reports of 5 fish dead from hot waters.
