and now for something completely different....

I believe that the cape cod canal is the main avenue for migration north.

I m a keen observer of nature......

Regardless of what the Gospel According to Trump has you believing, your feelings are not evidence.

from the Scientific American.....

the guys at woods hole usually know what they are talking about....

well, I don t know about the crabs, but the water up there is too cold for me.....

I went swimming at Whitehorse Beach...., once.... friggin cold....

I have about two more weeks here before it will be too chilly for comfort.....

[wesw]

I think that the most fun is when the little kids ask what I m doing and I tell them that I m catching Krabby Patties....

their little eyes light up and they smile....

one little girl said..., "krabby Patties aren t real"!

"let s go jellyfishing!!!!"

I love me some spongebob squarepants.....

no jellyfish in the water this year, so that has been good.....

From 2012 to 2014, there were reports of individual blue crabs showing up in parts of the Gulf of Maine from Duxbury Bay and Marblehead, Mass., to New Hampshire and even as far north as Nova Scotia. While it's not unheard of for the crabs to venture so far north, there aren't any established populations in the colder waters.

Emphasis added.

Again, I'm sure that Guin thanks you for making her point for her.

[wesw]

only time will tell if they are establishing permanent populations north of the cape....

....but a girl can dream.

[Bicycle Bill]

ton s of other stuff on the google too.....

Tons of stuff in an outhouse, too, or at the city dump... you just need to be able to tell the good stuff from the junk.
A skill which, I must say, you do not yet seem to have mastered.

[wesw]

the Scientific American ?

woods hole?

pretty good sources......

[Scooter]

Which did not support your claims.

Reading comprehension can be a useful tool, I recommend the Sylvan Method.

[wesw]

looks like this thread has been ended.....

[RayThom]

[Scooter]

looks like this thread has been ended.....

You chose the field of play, no sense blaming others when you prove yourself inadequate for the game.

[wesw]

it seems that scooter decides, raythom......

I provided links for guin.

scooter decided to shit on the thread.

anyway, guin, the link to the scientific American article is interesting.

they interview a guy from woods hole....

I don t know what scooter is talking about.

neither does he.

maybe in ten or twenty years we will know if the crabs have established a breeding population north of the cape.....

until then..., head down to the southern coast of the the cape and catch some free crabs!!!!

anyway, this was fun while it lasted......

[Scooter]

In wes's universe, quoting his own sources constitutes shitting on the thread.

I'm sorry that you see yourself as such a loser that you have to adopt this tack.

Explains why you voted for Trump, though.

when used to fish the jetty at the canal there was usually a giant ocean sunfish slowly floating up or down the jetty.

it was pretty amazing to me.

my dad had told me about seeing them, but I never thought that I would have one as a fishing buddy....

while I was googling stuff I also found that a sailfish has been caught in the canal in 2013.....

good fishing up your way guin.....

[wesw]

crap.

hurricane Florence is being predicted, on the weather channel, to possibly follow the path of the 1933, Chesapeake - Potomac hurricane....

that storm devastated the Chesapeake

on the bright side, there will be free boats floating everywhere if it happens.....

[wesw]

I caught about 30 nice jimmy crabs today.

I kept about half and gave the rest away....

best tasting ones of the year.

all heavy and clean.

I stopped using egg in my crabcakes this year......

they fall apart more easily but I think the flavor of the crab is better without the egg to mask it.

I ve made a couple of crab omelettes, but they weren t all that.

I think that if I made crabcakes amd THEN put the crab cakes in the omelette it would be better....

maybe tomorrow....

[wesw]

I prefer to think of him as this creature, the narration on this vid is priceless

[wesw]

I m missing the good fishing season. stupid me
