Re: Killies are finally around!!
On friday none of the bait stores on rte 36 has killies, Pete was nice enough to make a phone call for some guy who came in just before me, but it sounded like the person he called was out (julian's I believe). None of the shops on staten island had them either.
Growing up on staten island we were able to get killies without a problem in just about any tidal creek, when I moved to middletown years back I tried several creeks to no avail, and if I did have them they were often small (I do know a place where someone drops/dropped several large pots, but I think it is/was a bait shop so I never infringed on his spot). The tidal creeks on staten island don't get the same pressure as the ones around here, and catching a pot full of killies is still a problem (so I'm told). I often wonder if the larvacide that is dropped in the tidal creeks to control mosquito populations, and the over-hyped west-nile virus, has resulted in a dwindling population of killies.
