Yesterday when I fed my bait, I could not believe that the wind was not blowing. This was 3:30 in the afternoon. Of course, I did not fish so I missed a nice ride back to the dock. Every day this entire trout season the wind has blown, and blown hard, in the afternoon, but not this day.
I keep my bait way out on the end of this dock.
This is what we call a grass pusher. My husband designed and was the first to use one. When we grew clams we put them in bags and planted them on the bottom of the river. Rolling grass would accumulate on the bags and clog the holes killing the clams. Other clam farmers were using push brooms and getting overboard to push the grass from the bags. Rolling grass is not really a grass, it is an algae.
My husband came up with this thing that attached to the boat and had a winch to lower it to the bottom and the boat would push it across the clam bags collecting the grass in the net which was a big bag with a drawstring. When the boat slowed down, you knew the bag was full and we would go off of the clam lease and empty it by opening the drawstring and driving the boat around.
I could not post last night because I was getting error 401, so I googled it and it said that I might need to clear the cache and cookies so I cleared browsing history. What a mistake that was, it took me until about an hour ago to be able to get on Hive, I did a recovery and that worked except sync in google is not working and I can not figure out how to fix it. It wants me to enter my passpharse, as far as I can remember, I never had one. So now my pictures will not go from my phone to the cloud. I have to wait until my Granddaughter comes to fix it for me. I saw where I can create a new passpharse but by doing this, I will lose all of my saved passwords and that ain't going to happen.
Here are some more pictures that I took of the calm weather.
