It's a popular perch for local eagles, ospreys and hawks. I waited for like ten minutes with finger on trigger for this guy to take flight. When it hunched up I started snapping to get a winged flight but all I got was him taking a Biden... [rofl]
Sorry but it is not the guy's fishing the canal with rod and reel depleting a species. Think commercial nets/volume/$$$. I used to try and explain that to the boy scout herring counter in Middleboro when they dropped the limit to 36 fish. They were busting my balls for taking a couple dozen fish...
