Some years ago a charter boat out of Pt. Lookout did a open trip in December for cod. I was one of 6 passengers who bravely (foolishly?) went out.
Heavens, it was cold and rough! At least 8 foot swells. Not waves, swells! Water was crashing over the side, in through the port holes, etc. Everyone was chumming that day. But man, did we take fish!
Agree about the blue water.
