Pulling 12 Year Old Rotted Pilings At The State Fish Pier
Take a look at the pilings where they meet the water line. See how rotted they are from the worms that bore in and eat away at them. Mike Amaral pictured here tells me it is a direct result of how cleaned up the harbor has become. Interesting.

Crew Member Picks Up Spilled Slime Eels
Not much turns my stomach in the fish business. I can deal with rotten fish, stinky bait and all that.
A few things still get to me though- maggots and slime eels. I wretch every time. Ughhhhh!
