| What happend to the Flounder??
about 500,000 gallons os shit!!!!
we haven't fished there now for 3 years. The had a value problem
in the shit plant and dump all that raw stuff into the bay before
it could be fixed.
We fish Buzzards bay down the cape now. Fish are much slower
but seem to be bigger. Don't have those fill the cooler days anymore
ether.
well good luck down south

| Bassin' Bob-
At least you guys know about shit plants and valves. Down here every
toilet in New York City flushes right into Jersey waters. (We learn
very early not to fish barefoot!)

| 116.3 | Quincy bay | MORRIS::MLOEWE | Give it to Mikey, everyone else does! | Fri May 09 1986 17:22 | 8 |
| Except for last year, I fished Hurley's and Harvey's in Quincy for
about the last five years. The flounder was great. I didn't know
about any valve problems dumping s**t into the bay, but I did hear
it was polluted last year. Thats why I havn't gone back yet.
Looks like I'll have to find another flounder spot.

| 116.4 | cape flounder | BOVES::BPUISHYS | Bob Puishys | Mon May 12 1986 10:49 | 16 |
| Mike,
Try the cape!!! Buzzard bay is ok. We used to launch out of
Harvey's then we found a free lauch in ???? down near the ship
yard. Well the cape is much slower fishing but are they fat. And
the water is so clear you can see the fish sometimes. Just launch
after you cross the bridge that says welcome to buzzard bay. Drive
down the road to the redtop tackle shop for bait then backtrack
back to the ramp. There is a free town ramp or at the boat place
I thick you can get a boat if you don't have one.
Go out into the bay just off of the Mass Maritine Academy find
a sandy bar and fish. !!
good luck

Me again.
The only problem with down at the Cape it's too long a drive. Do
you know of any boat rental around Newburyport for flounder fishing?
I live in Leominster now, and route 2 to 495N is a much shorter
drive to the North Shore than the Cape.

I know the ride is the pits. I like to get my day to go so he will

be interested in knowing about a few places and how they produce.

uncle and I used to take cod, pollack and haddock.

| 116.9 | Quincy Question | NYALYF::HORWITZ | | Thu May 15 1986 17:03 | 10 |
| Hey guys -
I need some more help re: Quincy. 2 of my buddies are determined
to fish for flounder up there on Memorial Day weekend. We need some
info on where to rent a boat and where to go. Also, any current
news (even the lies from the newspaper would help!).
Thanks,
Rich

| Does anybody have any new news on Quincy Bay being polluted?
Have they cleaned it up yet? I'm getting anxious to do some flounder
fishing this spring.

| 116.11 | Quincy Bay Fishing !!! | HPSCAD::GATULIS | | Wed Feb 25 1987 12:59 | 22 |
| Tried to find it out myself Mike. It really depends on who you talk
to. Here's the best answers I could got:
1. Nothing wrong, catch and eat all you want
2. Don't eat anything, it's polluted
3. The most common reply from people I know who fish there believe
the color of the flounder determines if your is a clean area.
They contend that if the wite side is very white, the fish aree
etable and if they look at all yellow, toss em' back and move.
As for any stripers and blues, most feel you don't have to worry
about the pollution because these fish are transient to the
bay.
Although I personally are afraid to eat fish out of there, you can
go there any day and people are carting away flounder and cod by
buckets and trash cans full! They don't seem to worried. I'm not
aware of any "official" statement as to the hazards of fishing the
bay.

| Hi Frank,
Well having fished there for the first time about 8 or 9 years ago,
the fishing has always been very productive. It was not uncommon for
three of us in a rented 14' boat to catch a 150-200 flounder.
I hear there some good flounder fishing further south or north.
Although the yields are much smaller, some of the flounder is of
larger size.

| 116.13 | I think its polluted! | CAD::PRUNIER | | Fri Feb 27 1987 12:44 | 15 |

You can't tell if a flounder is "bad" from the color of its
belly, the yellow colored ones are Lemon Sole, and believe it or
not (from my expirience) taste much better than the white belly'ed.
As far as I know, Quincy bay is polluted , due to the fact that
they (Boston) dump tons of raw sewerage into the bay daily. That
fact does not stop many,many people from fishing there or eating
what they catch. If you are relly interested, contact the Quincy
DEQE and ask.
Steve
.... I would much rather eat fish caught off cape cod, of any species!!!
