water temps

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
