Seining 2025 Part 1

Good friends
   I went seining for the first time this year in Charlestown. It took some much needed prodding from friends since I hate the summer traffic in southern RI. I'm glad they prodded. We worked hard to get cool things. Many of our attempts only had Silversides in them. Still, we got some pretty cool stuff. Below are the coolest things we saw. Thanks to Sue Palmer for providing some of the best photos below






Permit


Northern Puffer

Longfin Inshore Squid



I had a macrolens on my camera instead of my big 600 mm. So I took off the macro but this is the best I could get of the most cooperative Yellow Crowned Night Heron I've seen in half a decade.


Crevalle Jack

Winter Flounder

Below are wonderful photos that Sue took. The Night Heron is not yelling at us. It yawned. As you can see from the photo where it is circled in a tree it was really comfortable with us around. We went through all of the fish in the seine and moved to the next little beach. The Heron stayed in the tree until it decided to feed (while walking right in our direction)
