Red Drum in Massachusetts?
I was mulling over a trip to Florida this spring and one of the species that I'd like to target is Redfish. So, I figured I would do a little research on them.
In three different places I saw their range listed as the Gulf of Mexico to Massachusetts.
Now I ain't been around here for long, but I've never heard of any Reds taken in Mass waters... certainly there is no fishery for them, but has anyone ever heard of Reds this far north?
Just curious?
On a side note, unrelated except for in my demented mind, I saw part of a show regarding global warming a few nights back... one of the positive things about it is the possibility of fish species expanding their range northward following the warmer water temps. Could you imagine fishing for Tarpon and Permit on the Cape? Of course, you would literally be fishing on the Cape as half of it would be underwater. Imagine the great structure that downtown Hyannis would offer...
I'm not sure why Dateline didn't touch on this aspect of the Global Warming issue... who knows. Their experts must not be as intuitive as myself.
