Erik Lorden At Passports Displays His Downtown Herb Garden Video

Erik Lorden steps up big after disappointing as a no-show in the Downtown Gloucester Merchants Flower Box Competition.

He knew he had to either come strong with some outside the box creativity or face being ridiculed by me for not representing.

The boy brought his A Game and creativity in his Sustainable Cape Ann best with flower boxes containing herbs that he uses in some of his tastiest dishes.

Passports Downtown Herb Garden

Upcoming video of Erik explaining the motive behind his new herb garden (no, not that kind of herb) in his newly installed flower baskets in front of Passports.

Johnny Mondello’s Lobster Skiff

Here is Johnny Mondello’s lobster red lobster skiff.  Johnny built a plywood setting table for his traps so when he hauls them up he can place them on that plywood setting table to clean them out and rebait them.  This is the perfect little skiff to fish the rocks (also known as fishing the bushes) when the lobsters are in tight to shore.

Nick Novello and Jeremiah Nicastro Rhumb Line Tournament Update

Nick Novello was kind enough to forward me a few pics of this tuna that Jeremiah Nicastro landed on 50 lb test and a striper rod.

Here is Nick’s update-

“We were in the Rhumbline Striper Tourney and only landed a 24 lb Bass.  We did get lucky on this 100+ pound Football Tuna However.
Jeremiah was on the rod, and I was on the wheel for an hour and a half on Saturday.  50lb Test on a striper set up, Shimano Baitrunner 6500 on a Penn Slamer 30-50 class rod.  It was quite the fight and a pretty cool to hoist it over the rail!

Enjoy!”

The bar is hugggggggge.  It’s starting to really take shape. Luis told me that the bar will seat 18.

I dig the warm colors they are using.  It will be a welcoming dining experience in the dead of winter when everything is cold and gray.
