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.

If the stripers are looking for cooler water filled with bait why aren't we seeing more up here in NH and Maine. Also how come many of the recreatonal fisherman up here are switching to ground fish. Remember there running normally out 20 miles so gas isn't that big an issue.
Thanks to just about no blue fish and a lot less stripers we've had tons of macks, sandeels, silver side and in the fall sea herring.
