Ha, not like this counts, but the closest I was to that area this year was on a Disney cruise yesterday out of NY! The whole day was crisp and clear down in the shipping lanes and was suprised as hell to see no one out there. Saw one dragger/scalloper working and that was it. Funny but there is lots of lobster gear we went through and from 10 or more stories up could see that they were no dolphin under them, this was due south of the cape but not sure what the hell the water temp was.
I really need to put my boat in the water and start fishing. Sadly I feel like I got back in the middle of the season and waiting to see if this guy hauls my boat out. Should get some reports with everyone shark fishing I imagine...
