They don't make a book big enough to throw at these guys!

Let's take the lobsterman's point of view for a minute. In the last week the Glocester Daily Times has reported two citations for divers taking illegal undersized bugs. One of these guys had been given a warning last summer and was shown how to measure properly. I have had many short bugs on my...

Thanks! That seems like a bargain given todays fuel rates. I bet those prices go up soon.

How much did the charter cost if you don't mind me asking. I just sold my boat and would love to do a few scallop dives this year. It would be real nice not having to be concerned about the boat and the other dives too.

Speaking of Kettle Cove - I drove to Magnolia yesterday at hight tide to check out the surf. Huge 10' rollers breaking right near shore - between kettle and magnolia. Playing in the waves were a group of seals that were getting completely airborne. It looked like the video of the Great White...

Surface temp in mid Atlantic up 7 degrees....please. This could be explained by a number of things, most likely just a buoy somewhere in the middle of a different current than years past. I have spent lots of time offshore and have seen some interesting surface temps and I have one...

That sounds like a great dive. Where is Duck Island. Is it part of the Isles of Shoals?

My freinds and I catch alot of lobsters. The vast, vast majority are the just barely legal kind. The truth is I find them to be more of a hassle than anything else. If I could find larger lobsters (2-3lbs) consistantly I would be much happier taking fewer. I think it would be great if they upped...

We had a school of 50 or so on us at Great Egg Rock off of Manchester. They were swimming within inches of us and wouldn't leave us alone. I punched one in the nose. He swam away and then came right back, so much for that theory.. Even the bimini didn't bother them much. There were lobstermen in...

Friday night is the full moon and the weather looks like it might be nice. I'm not sure what time the moon will be up but I'm thinking of leaving the dock around 8:30 out of Beverly. I'm looking for suggestions for spots for this dive along Marblehead to Magnolia. I see dive boats anchored off...

I'm from Gloucester and dive some of these sites. I mostly dive from my boat and mostly off Beverly and Manchester these days. Lanesville is just another small town on the North Shore that is losing it's residents to higher real estate prices. Cape Ann has a huge population of people that own...

I just bought a house on Lufkin Point in Essex. It is out at the mouth of the Essex River. This is one of the worst years ever some of the locals told me. You have to run from your car to your house. We are in the process of painting to get ready to move. They are bad enough that I have been...

If you have a boat get a live well. If you are bringing them home in your car and your ride is under an hour put them in the same kind of bag a store would give you, brown paper bag. Put them in the fridge when you get home and eat them that night.

I haven't been diving much lately but two weekends ago off of Marblehead we saw hundreds of lobsters, mostly short, many eggers and vnotchers. I bagged 3 that were 2-1/2 pounds plus. I also grabbed 3 more chickens. The big ones were hard shelled and delicious. Since it was fathers day and ther...

Undersea divers in Beverly is open on Sundays from 9am to 3pm. http://www.underseadivers.com/

Wait a second - is this guy saying he is more likely to search if you properly mark your dive gear which indicates you are possibly diving for lobsters. That's BS in my book. If I were the EP I would be searching divers without the proper identifying marks as much or more. Divers that mark their...

I gave some to some freinds who stir fry up the "other" parts and eat them. I know they ate them and haven't seemed to have had any reaction. What is red tide? Isn't it from rain runoff and if so do you think it could honestly affect areas that are several miles from shore or is this just a...

Uh Oh. We got 3 full bags on Friday afternoon and they tasted great. Got them in Salem Sound. Does anyone think the redtide has affected this are?

This was very informative. I may have to use some of those techniques this Friday :11ztongue
