Vinnie

Vinnie is adopted by the Martha's Vineyard Surfcaster's Association. On April 30, Vinnie was captured from the Wareham Street fishway along the Nemasket River in Middleborough. After a 90 minute drive up to Salem Road in Topsfield, Vinnie was stocked to the Ipswich River.

Vinnie was last seen by the stationary receiver at Site 8 in the Great Wenham Swamp on May 3, 2007 at 2:10 am. We have been manually tracking Vinnie since then, and have located him in the Bunker Meadows Pond.
