Out here the cod and ling like really cold water so the best time to catch them is in winter when they move closer to shore. In
summer they’ll be at the 300 foot depth and it takes forever to bring them up. They pool up off Massachusetts, Cape Cod, of course.0I’ve had days like that. Catch everything but what you went for. Interesting, we have ling and cod out here, but no lingcod. All 3 are different fish, though the lingcod has a dorsal fin somewhat similar to the ling. Cod are one best eating fished in the ocean. Not ling, fatty and oily. I always throw them back. Both ling and cod are deepwater fish and rarely caught off the shore.
0I agree with you on the 6th Covid year, bad idea all around; however, I would have favored giving the seniors that missed their final NCAA tournament an added year, but nooooo those seniors were specifically excluded from the added year.
0I’m with you, fish off the rocks. I still freeze in wet suit and it doesn’t have to be winter runoff.
I was surprised Hendrickson got the Hodge. I thought Starocci would get the award given his 5 titles, but Hendrickson had more pins, and that huger upset of Steveson.
0Crazy weather day. 60n overnight then a high of 82 at 3 PM, dropped to 70 by 6:30 pm, not unexpected. At 6:45 we were down to 54as the wind from the north blew in. 7:15 it was 45. From a T and shorts to sweatshirt and sweatpants.
0I never had the chance. I tear my ACL second as a freshman in HS. They didn’t have the surgical technique the have today. I still have a 7″ scar where they went in and cleaned me up. The knee was never the same and the docs advised I quit the sport. My knee still gives me a weather report for rain in the forecast. Aches like heck just prior to rain. It must have something to do with air pressure changes. Final X is in Newark this year. The sons and I have talked about bringing the grandboys to it but haven’t committed to tix just yet.
0yeah, Gable totally underestimated Hendrickson’s improvement I sense he was a bit gassed in those final seconds. I’ve never seen anyone hold him down like Hendrickson did. I don’t think Steveson wants his career to end like it did at the NCAA and expect he’ll be on the mat in Las Vegas. Parris will be there so that will make for an interesting finish for the heavies. Do they give Steveson the top seed if he shows up based on his past or Parris, the reigning top dog? Either way Hendrickson will have two brutal bouts to win the USA title if he can make the semi.
Taylor got off to a good coaching career with 2 NCAA champs. Neither Hamiti nor Hendrickson were there under Smith, neither had won a previous title or favored to win this year, so I guess you have to give Taylor the credit for the titles.
0I presume you’ve watched Hendrickson take out Steveson by now. If not, it’s worth the time. Hendrickson was on top of his game. Steveson looked like he expected to win easily.
0NCAA weekend. Wifey not happy, too much wrestling on the tube. We go through this every year. Sunday will be back to normal.
0It looks like you may get chance this year. Mt. Adams is rumbling. It was an incredible spring day, 68F and blue sky.
0My cousin wax in Washington at the time and shipped a jar of ash. I still have it somewhere with my mineral collection. He’s with the Coast Guard but has since moved up to Alaska and is captain of a cutter patrols US the fishing and crabbing boats. The Chinese and Russians like to poach the US. He’s boarded quite a few of their ships.
0System went goofy again blocking y log in.
I hope you don’t reside near Mount Adams. They are saying it’s getting ready to blew it’s top.
0The state wrestling tournament enters the finals this weekend. We have a 3X champ that got himself in a real pickle at the district tournament 2 weeks ago. His father confronted a bunch of opposing fans about their jeering. One pushed him backward and on top of fans in lower seats. The kid had just won his district title bout and ran up into the stands when he saw his father go down. The kid started letting the fists fly. The cops handcuffed the kid and his and led them out. The NJSIAA which oversees NJ HS sports DQ’d the kid out of the tournament taking his chance to be a rare 4 time champ away. So he gets a lawyer and files in civil court for reinstatement. The NJ courts have never heard of a complaint involving school sports admin but in this case the judge ruled in favor of the kid on the basis the sport commissioner conducted an discipline investigation without informing the wrestler…..no due process. So the kid gets to wrestle in the region tournament last weekend and wins to qualify for the state tournament. So earlier this week the town PD who removed them handcuffed, arrested the kid on an assault charge. Hearing that, the state commissioner filed with the appellate court to remove the stay of the DQ but that court wouldn’t hear the plea, so he wrestles this weekend for his 4th title. The court order states the state must allow him to wrestle. The commissioner has already stated that they will allow him to wrestle but there is nothing to bar the commission from DQing him afterward and taking away any placement at the tournament. The fireworks will continue next week after the tournament. Everyone is waiting to see if the state DQs him before he hits the podium. Speculation suggests they will move 2nd and 3rd to co-champs if they didn’t wrestle in the semis, then everyone else up two places.
The public consensus is he shouldn’t be wrestling given his conduct which was recorded by quite few with their phone. The state sports commissioner’s office really runs a dictatorship so it’s not a surprise the DQ decision got tossed.
Last year the same commissioner was embroiled in another flagrantly poor decision over a state championship basketball game. Team A put up a basket with the last shot of the game to win by one point. Per the refs, game over. Team A wins. Coach of team B protests and says the shot was after time expired. The refs void the shot without looking at any replay and declare Team B the champs, purely on the protest oof B’s coach. Now there is untold number of phone video of that final shot from all angles in the gym showing the ball in the air with time on the clock. The refs look at the phone video but won’t change the call. On Monday, school A admin files a protest with the state commissioner’s office and included 5 videos of the shot with the clock with testimony the refs declared their school the champs and the ensuing change by the refs. The commissioner would not reinstate the initial call going so far as to issue an apology. Even the refs for game issued an apology. School A then turns to the civil court to have the commissioner’s decision overturned. As usual the court refuses to hear the plea as it is an education issue continuing the tradition of refusing to hear such complaints. Because that case was declined by the court, is the reason why everyone was surprised this other judge agreed to hear the wrestler’s DQ case.
0Expense of incarceration is deemed excessive.
Wild weather bouncing between high 50’s and mid 30’s. Wind has been 30-40 mph which makes 55 chilly.
The gang was over for wifey’s birthday. I booked a trip to Bermuda in June, and then Switzerland, Italy and France in August.
