Hit the Navesink at sunrise on Sunday with 8 drop lines and chicken. The wind kicked up around 10 am and made crabbing difficult. Finished up with a little over four dozen.

Correct... N/E of Oceanic by Clay Creek... winds were from the west so I tried to seek shelter in that area... unfortunately that pushed me closer to the wall where it was not very productive. It was a good thing that I got an early start or it would have been nothing but wind frustration and tangled lines!

Ah. The Dawn Patrol.  ) Didn't get an SST reading to see how cold it's gotten. Did you? My last year logs(10/22/2010) listed it at about 55 degrees. RED SKIES IN MORNING. SAILORS TAKE WARNING. ) |

However I did notice a drastic improvement in the water clarity from my prior trip one week earlier. Everything is getting back to normal quicker than I expected post Irene.

Great. Water clarity also goes up as the water gets colder too. That's a concern. At SST's 60 and downwards they shut down for year.  (( |
