Peter Kelly, a charter captain from Marion, said he has been fishing in Massachusetts waters for more than 45 years. He theorized that the warmer water in the past few years was driving more fish further off the coast. That is why recreational fishermen, who cannot afford to fuel boats to go further out, may be seeing less fish, he said.
“As fuel keeps going up, recreational catches are going to keep going down,” Kelly said.

Sounds like just another unsupported claim. Tens of thousands of square miles of ocean, one person's or a few people's experience isn't valid.
It's like looking at the stars through a pinhole in a piece of paper and claiming that you can make valid estimates about the cosmos based on that pinhole view.
