Searched for BFT from Boston outer all the way to the NW corner yesterday, only saw whales. WE trolled for 3 hours on and around the bank and only got a few blues. Saw some BIG bass too, but of course we didn't fish for them !!

I guess we just wait for them to come back or come in closer.

Van,

At least it was a nice day out there!

Get the low down on the general vicinity were they are before heading way out. I think the offshore guys are not that worried about spot buring. Its a big ocean and gas it 3 bucks/gal. Info is being shared among offshore guys. Most guys will not run to a far off spot blind.

I can understand the inshore protection but not offshore

Spot burning? Ou in the canyons its common prectice for a boat that;s hooked up to shout the loran numbers of his position.
