Spring is here and so is the Annual River Herring Count!
Each spring for over 10 years, the City of Gloucester, the Eight Towns and the Great Marsh Committee and NOAA-NMFS have coordinated the annual river herring (alewife) count at the top of the fish ladder by the West Gloucester Water Filtration Plant on Essex Avenue.
Volunteer monitors help scientists by observing and documenting the spring run of herring as they migrate from their home in the Atlantic Ocean to their freshwater spawning grounds. This is a wonderful activity for interested individuals, families, youth organizations and students who want to play an active part in local conservation efforts. Learning to become a volunteer monitor is easy and the time spent observing can require as little as ten minutes of your day.
This year’s count will take place from April 1st to May 30th.
A training session will be held on Saturday March 28th at 9:00 A.M. in the
Friend Room of the Sawyer Free Library.
If you would like to become a volunteer monitor and help efforts to protect this important species, please contact:
Dave Sargent/ Alewife Warden @ 978-282-8018 – dsargent@gloucester-ma.gov
or Max Schenk @ 978-282-8025 – mschenk@gloucester-ma..gov
Time coverage is the key to a successful count and any time you can give will make a difference!

Spring Thaw, Rockport, circa 1900
The Cleaves House, where photographer Charles H. Cleaves lived, is in the center of the photo. The view can be seen from the top of what is now called Pasture Road. Our Spring Thaw is just around the corner. I’m going to turn over my vegetable garden this spring if I have to do it on my hands and knees.

We Lost A Great FOB From Ontario Canada- Bruce Bonham
Bruce had been a regular on GMG from the early days even though he lived in Canada, and visited every summer. Always friendly and upbeat he loved GMG and Our City. In the picture below you can see Bruce with the original GMG Bumper Sticker back in May 2009, a year and a couple months after GMG started and Bruce was already hooked.

Just wanted to send a big thank you to Good Morning Gloucester, My father Bruce Bonham who passed suddenly on March 3/15 was truly a fan. My parents spent many years vacationing in Gloucester ” Rocky Neck ” and my dad always wanted me to see his favorite spot. I was fortunate enough to join my parents on trips to this special place. My father loved this so much he said he felt he was home.
Good Morning Gloucester was a regular routine for my dad with his morning coffee.
I want to thank all the people of Gloucester, Mona and her husband at Rocky Neck Accommodations, thanks for making our stays special and of course the boat rides. Thanks to Brenda who conversed a lot with my dad. Thanks to the Rudder who always found us a table. Thanks to you Joey for of course Good Morning Gloucester, and the Lobsta!!. To Nights On the Neck for making us feel welcome, and to Town of Gloucester for the same.
Thanks again for making this my fathers very special place

Hi Joey,
Thought I’d send you this holiday greeting from St. Catharines, Ontario, CANADA!!
Thank God for GMG! Keeps us informed about the greatest place on earth.
All the best to you and your family,
Bruce and Louise Bonham
ps – see you at the dock in May — if all goes as planned!
Hi Joey,
You may recall I was at the ‘dock’ last Tuesday (Sep. 21).
Since 2004, we’ve stayed at Mona Faherty’s Rocky Neck Accommodations.
Since I’m now retired, we’re trying to make the trip from St.
Catharines, Ontario (near Niagara Falls).
Obviously, we love the area. And we love GMG!
Thought I’d send you three pictures I took during our last visit, if
they’re any use to your web site.
See you next May, if all goes as planned!
Bruce and Louise Bonham

Kind of Breaking Restaurant News
So, if you’re on Facebook, you may already have learned this yesterday, but for those of you who aren’t…here’s the good news!
Top Dog of Rockport has expanded their awesome hot dogs and clam menu to include burgers!
Burgers! But sliders! Plain, cheese (Hoffman cheddar), cheese and thin sliced caramelized onions and cheese, pickles,lettuce and tomato. All burgers served on a buttered grilled potato roll. Also we have have the option of a special proprietary Top Dog sauce for the Sliders.
Check out Top Dog’s Famous hot dog menu below to get in the mood for Opening Day (around Mid April) and to wet your appetite until the new menu is released!
There’s something pretty phenomenal about walking down Bearskin Neck and grabbing a hot dog and some chili cheese fries on a summer afternoon and sitting by the water’s edge.
