Fishing February

I’ve done lots of fishing posts, mostly about this unlikely estuary, where I’ve never fished.

Here’s Virginia Sue heading past Sakizaya Champion and out

 

the Narrows.  By the way, I’m planning a post on that fort in the distance some day soon.

Dutch Girl is a regular here,

as is the unlikely named but frequently seen Eastern Welder. 

 

Speaking of fishing, here’s my most recent Professional Mariner story on a group of guys who catch-and-release great big white fish.

Here and here are some related posts from six years ago. And why not another about a boat I’ve not noticed yet this year, Miss Callie;  keep in mind, I’ve not been out that much myself.

 

Fishing December 2013

Here was the last fishing post I did.  Fishing is only a winter activity in the sixth boro.  Here Dutch Girl pulls a net past the French woman and

then heads back.

And this looks like Virginia Sue, she of classic lines.

Enjoy.

All fotos by Will Van Dorp, who might have enough unused fishing fotos from Brazil to do another post about them.  I have got to check.

Sixth Boro Random Delights 6

Forecast for the morning after the Oscars was for some sun, which I sorely needed.  And who’s out . . . William Oscar aka W. O. Decker, for starters.

CCNI Aquiles and Dallas Express at Global . . . and a Moose boat racing toward us.

I couldn’t quite figure out what Sorensen Miller‘s load was.   In the background, that’s the Newark Bay Bridge, which doesn’t make it on my fotos much.

Virginia Sue was fishing off Clermont.

John P. Brown moved nine (?) railcars from Brooklyn to Jersey.

Clipper Legacy arrived here yesterday.

Shawn Miller‘s pushing trucks around again, this one  all ready for the mid-March holiday.

Taurus light moves past Christine McAllister.

And . . . let’s conclude with another shot of William Oscar, wherever it may be heading.
