This is really bad!!!! Examiner.com and various recreational fishing groups along the coast are up in arms—again—over the killing of thousands of striped bass off the coast of North Carolina. In recent days, North Carolina commercial trawlers have been witnessed tossing thousands of dead striped bass overboard as they “high-grade” for the largest bass while staying within the 50-fish limit. The wasteful practices of the trawlers have been captured on a video that has been posted on YouTube and making the rounds of sport-fishing and environmental groups. Story and Video HERE

Afterwards they performed a short sea trial and divers inspected her keel for damage

On Thursday evening, the tug Gwendolyn pulled her free

She spent about 24 hours aground

Here are some photos of some 1920's era oyster boats working off the Norwalk Islands (CT) last Friday. I had never been out in February before. These are some cool old boats: http://soundbounder.blogspot.com/2010/02/fruits-of-winter.html http://soundbounder.blogspot.com/2010/02/mary-colman.html

Yeah, she worked out of Keyport for some years also. And I think somewhere south near AC too.

Most of the wood is going to have paint or varnish on it. As for using it as a floating barge; I think it needed a lot of work. The hull was in really rough shape

here are a couple of photos of her from last summer: PORT JEFF ACE PHOTOS

I just read this week that the Port Jeff Ace was demolished and trucked away. Built in 1962, she fished out of Port Jefferson for quite a few years. http://www.northshoreoflongisland.com/Articles-i-2009-12-03-82337.112114-sub18235.112114_Nautical_nostalgia_takes_a_licking_at_boat_ramp_in_PJ.html
