Bet it is nice to see blooms Al. Those Peach flowers are gorgeous. Was that guy fishing manning all those poles?

He was fishing for Catfish. Thats the mouth of the Connecticut River.. It opens up to the ocean just a little past that point but the Catfish still come down that far. Theres some Big Catfish in that River! Channel Cats and white cats...

Lovely! Great time of the year. I really don't think that guy in the photo cares if he catches a fish or not. Look like he's just enjoying the warmth from the sunshine.....Good catch Al ;)

That is a cool area! I have been there many times... Fort Griswold /Submarine base. Never fished there though! Got to be impressive to be fishing next to those ships!

Yes it is a blast. I have some more pics, but I couldn't get them to upload. Maybe I'll try again tomorrow.

I read peach flowers and my mouth started watering for a nice juciy peach in the hot summer time, that is my drug. Not sure how the season will be here this year, late freeze/snow really did some damage. Glad you are finally starting to see some life Al!
