Gang,

Took off out of Hampton yesterday for first trip of the year. I could not believe the number of gill nets set out there. Ended up some thirty miles out, SE into Jeffrey's. Picked up some cod off the ledge.
Are these gill nets going to be gone this month with the new regulations? I know these guys have got to make a living, but what I saw was a killing!
Most were only just a few miles off shore.

Whales were very curious yesterday.
Also made a connectin with another fellow fisherman who actualy guided us out to the area. Good guy...and guide.

Gill Nets

They better be. The rolling closures are still in effect and the line open goes one grid north around 43 degs.

The new stuff may happen on May 1.
