After talking to Tautog at last night's club meeting we discussed what seemed to me to be higher than normal water temps in our area this year

And after doing some research when I got home - based on historical data from NOAA - our unusually warm Spring so far has caused a 5 degree jump in water temps for this date versus last year, according to readings taken from the Castle Hill NOAA buoy

NDBC - Station NWPR1

So if you're procratinating on getting your gear together for the 2010 season...you'd better get cookin'

The season may be here sooner than you think

Of course, George also forewarned me that this hypothesis could generate a response from someone attempting to use science to refute it

Me, I'll stand by my opinion...
