Whip,
Thanks for the water temp chart. It is certainly
refreshing with all the B..S.. put out on this web
as gospel truth to see someone who can back-up
a statement with fact. Now if only we could do
that about statements on fish, baits, plugs, casting,
tides, moons (did I miss anything??) that all the
experts herein profess as fact. Have a short winter.
See ya on the beach.

It's too long a winter to start the BS this early.

I did not mean I don't believe what you read, I just question the accuracy of the data. Seems like a big drop in that amount of days to me. Maybe what I thought about ocean temps is not true.

Very possible! (& probable) that the temp. dropped that quick up there!

1) I have seen a single late- Fall storm drop water temps in the Ocean surf by 5- 6 degrees within 48 hours! (killed a few seasons down here that way... shaping up to look like this one included? )


2) Water temps down here & even as far south as Jersey have fallen as low as 46 in the backbays... 50 in the ocean surf (was 56- 58 a week ago)


I can well then believe these temps accurate for up there in B.B.!


Anyone seen any Gannets on Herring this week-- anywhere?

wind direction can change the water temp dramatically in hours. If the warm water gets blown away and/or cool water gets blown in you can see dramatic changes ina hurry. NE blows the cool water down, NW blows the warm water away

Fishing about 4 miles off Newport today and the water temp was a balmy 53.6 degrees. Air was friggin cold though
