Listener spooky stories and other fisher freak outs:  15-20min   62% of respondents have had a weird or spooky incident on the water. 25% said it started scary but turned out to be something ordinary CH and the turtle   Chris Snodgrass My Wife and I were trolling for Kokanee Salmon. It was just before dark and we had the only boat on the water. It's a small reservoir in Montana. The water was like glass it was so calm. As we got out to the middle the water swirled next to the boat like a whale turned next to us. The swirl was as big or bigger than our boat. It was extremely creepy so we headed to the dock! Still not sure what the swirl was caused by but maybe an under water spring... It was in 50' of water though.   Alan Dumitrescu I'm the only person at this lake. You know the sound of a rod wishing through the air on a hard cast? Yeah that sounds happened in the wooded area behind me just once like a cast. Only similar sounds I've ever heard is bigger birds wings. I looked no birds anywhere no turkeys roosting in trees for the night. The sun was setting at this point. I didn't see anything but it was real close. My only other thought cause a bunch of neighboring property dogs were all fired up a few minutes earlier and they had settled down just before I heard it. Never heard bobcat hiss in person but at that point since they are in that area is all I could think and why the dogs were fired up. So I hurried the hell out of there. I'm not tangling with big kitty if that's what it was.   John J Murphy Well I grew up in Salem Ma and used to fish a cemetery pond so I'd go with yes   Phantom Casters From Rick Webster I was fishing the first beach at Sandy Hook in Jersey one late September. When I got to the parking lot and not another car in sight. I set up, soaking clams on two rods before sun-up. As the pre-dawn light began to show over the horizon, a THICK bank of fog rolled in. Slack tide and zero wind…very peaceful but not expecting anything spectacular. Suddenly, about 500 seagulls that had been resting on the roof of the bath house lifted into the air and began to dive nosily into the surf. The fog was so thick I couldn't see them, but I could hear them, not 20 yards off the beach. Figuring a blitz of snappers, I sent a 3-ounce Yo-Zuri popper into the fog and immediately came tight on what turned out to be a 12lb Albie. As I was fighting this fish, the fog began to lift and I could see I was surrounded by 25 to 30 other surfcasters. I had no clue how they suddenly appeared as this stretch of beach is wide open, so I would have seen them before the fog came in. No one spoke and the only sounds were screaming gulls and drags as we all enjoyed a rare mix of blues and albies for the next 30 minutes in a classic fall blitz. As the action died down, the fog rolled in again and I appeared to be all alone again. Since I was tired and a little spooked by the mornings events, I packed up my gear and headed back to the parking lot. Just like when I arrived, mine was the only car there. I have no idea where the other fishermen came from or how they disappeared and to this day, I'm not entirely convinced they were actually there. https://onthewater.com/spooky-fishing-stories   Aliens prefer fishers:   Pascagoula UFO Abduction  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascagoula_Abduction   See Entry 12:  https://skepticalinquirer.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2019/03/SI-MJ-12.pdf   Charles Hickson 42 Calvin Parker 19  Went fishing on the Pascagoula River Mississippi October 11th 1973     On the evening of October 11, 1973, 42-year old Charles Hickson and 19-year-old Calvin Parker went fishing on the west bank of the Pascagoula River.  As dusk fell, they heard a whirring/whizzing sound and saw flashes of blue light on the water.  They looked up to see an oval-shaped object approximately 30-40 feet across and 8-10 feet high.  Three creatures came gliding out of the craft and took them aboard.  Completely paralyzed but still conscious, the two men were subjected to a medical exam by a giant robotic eye.  They were then returned to shore, and the craft sped away into the night sky.    Both changed their stories over time.  Parker said he passed out but later claimed to remember certain details.  Hickson kept altering his story. The original polygraph on Hickson was given by an untrained operator as part of a commercial deal and there is speculation that it never really took place.   Drinking was believed to be part of the incident. Hypnagogic dream  paroxysmal sleep-related disorder incubus syndrome both fall in the category of parasominias   Still one of the best UFO stories out there.  There is a commemorative plaque marking the spot on the Pascagoula River where the incident took place    Should have been fishing   Thank Yous: Wally Pleasant for our show theme, Diana's Bath Salts for our Fish in the News theme, Dan Henig for his nice little tune Savannah Sunshine which we used on our chat with Laura Williams, Laren Duski for her instrumental Rollin' which we used to on the Lake of the Woods fishing report, Joe Henry for bringing us that report, Steve NcAngler and the Hatcher Brothers for their fishing reports, Laura Williams for being a lead free fishing ally, Chris Snograss, Alan Dumitrescue and John Murphy for their spooky fishing tales, Rick Webster for his legion of spirit surf casters story but especially you the listener for bringing your ears right on in here and letting us fill them up with fish stuff.    Fish Nerds is the creation of Diabolical Dave Kellum and Clay “Lamprey Mouth” Groves, Clay is also our Chief Executive “Flesh Eating” Fish Nerd, our producer and co-host is John “Jabberwocky” King, our demon horde of associate producers are Jeff “Devil Fly” Dannaldson, Todd “Black Cat” Corayer, Tim “Terror Hook” Bete and the cute friendly Wendy type witch flying above the wrack is our own Doc Martin.   Code of the Fish Nerds   Looks like we made a podcast  

Sarah Zettler is our guest today. Sarah is a teacher, and has had to fit her six-year section hike of the Appalachian Trail into her summer vacation as a teacher. She even incorporates the trail into her school lesson plans to further engage her students. She felt called to do this hike and, once it was in her heart, she worked out a plan to get it done. A dramatic fall on one of the river crossings in the north led to a rescue by the Emergency Rescue team from Androscoggin. These selfless people reassured and cared for Sarah and deserve our praise anytime we get the chance. Nice one, team.

Beautiful Merrymeeting Bay in Maine, is an important area for wildlife habitat, and for humans. For decades, people have enjoyed a pristine view of the night sky - until the local electrical utility replaced two towers and lit them up, right at the iconic Chops, lighting the area for miles around. Ed and the Friends of Merrymeeting Bay got that changed, but they ended up out of the frying pan and into the fire with an aircraft radar detection system. And the battle continues. On the Friends of Merrymeeting Bay (FOMB) Steering Committee since the winter of 1993, Ed has been Chair since 1996. In this work he has written major grants and initiated projects in the areas of land conservation, research, advocacy, and education. Two projects, Aquatic & Upland Habitat Assessment of Merrymeeting Bay over time utilizing historical and current aerial photography combined with GIS to look at land use and vegetation changes over time; and Caged Bivalve Studies on the Kennebec and Androscoggin to monitor PCBs and dioxins, have been the first projects of their type in the state of Maine and quite successful. A multi-year Circulation Study of the Bay and six tributaries was also a major accomplishment. Most recently FOMB has been on the cutting edge of affordable PFAS sampling.

Dave and Dan are joined by Dave’s old friend Dave Sassano, and the Mainers walk down memory lane about the good old days on the Androscoggin, including the time they wore white jeans to a driving range and incurred the derision of some cooler guys. Sassano talks about his work in the water treatment industry at Idexx Laboratories, Dan does a roll-call with some districts going through school reopening drama, and the guys all dive into a 20/20 that came up three questions short but went plenty long. Stick around for underrated Harrison Ford movies, some corn talk, Dave struggling to describe what kind of squash he likes, and Patriots win total predictions that were absolutely impacted by recency bias.

Founded in 1966, Androscoggin Home Healthcare + Hospice is the largest independent, nonprofit provider of home health and hospice services in the state of Maine. On top of those core services, Androscoggin also offers palliative care, transitional care, virtual care and more. At the helm of Androscoggin is CEO and President Ken Albert.
