Sandman - I just looked up the temps:
Boston Harbor 49 degrees:

Buzzards Bay 55 degrees:

Big Difference as far as the bass go between what the readings are in Bahstin versus Buzzards Bay... I've heard people bounce around a bunch of different numbers, but isn't something like 55 degress the end of the bass's happy zone???
