Afternoon,
Another beautiful day on the water. Sunday's breeze a sampler of what is to come only with lower temps. Tides are building a bit but not outrageous. Hopefully the Tuesday night/Wednesday morning predicted blow of gusts to 30 mph SW along with 7-10 foot seas won't mess up things too much. I have pretty much shifted everything out of unprotected shoal water into a bit deeper depth.

We have been getting fresh herring of a decent size right along. I think there is a lot of quota left in the herring industry as us bug catchers slowed down big time this summer. My expenses are down by 1/3, my overall catch up and bottom line kind of dismal. Mackeral are everywhere. If you were in NE Harbor on MDI and took a look out over the harbor you probably saw schools of them. The squid seem to have moved on.

Our Emily leaves Wednesday for 6 weeks in NL doing research for her master's thesis. One area she is going to may be hard for her to find people to interview as shrimp season is almost over just as moose season begins. One fishermen there said he would "collar" some willing interviewees.
