Not according to Chuck Schumer when they were starting the project. Gotta love politicians. Anyone that has boated on Braddocks knew he was full of sh*t. A pier and a complete break wall along with some dredging would make Braddocks a good port.
No Dave. They were deformed, curled, or worn. I wish I still had the photos to post. Horrible product. The bigger ones we have caught look in a lot better shape (maybe better survival when they have good fins?).
The Powder Mill hatchery would be a great place to raise Atlantics. Contract out the hatchery to raise Atlantics. The government loves contracting stuff out!
Atlantic numbers seemed to be up some this year. We caught a couple compared to 1 or 2 in a season. All I'm going to say on this topic is, if they want more atlantics to survive until adulthood, they might want to stock a better product. EVERY atlantic we caught this summer had damages pectoral and dorsal fins. I have seen some in pics that looked great and they were bigger fish.
Big ones like cold temps in May, June, July and the beginning of August. Once they start staging, things change. As for the rest of the advice, I can agree with most of it.
Everything in this lot is brand new in the package. NK mag spoons, 11” paddle, coho flies, GRC flies and a cutbait rig. $75.00 shipped to the lower 48.
It depends. Are you not marking much? If I have a good screen and stuff isn't firing, I change. If I’m in search mode and haven’t marked much, I stick with my usuals.
