New Eddy developing out of nowhere! May 27

Happy Memorial day. Take a minute to remember the wounded warriors and supreme sacrifices people made to defend the beliefs of the USA. Locally, I think of the 28 men who died aboard the Texas Tower 4 because of faulty construction and power of Nature's wrath.These men died defending our shores from incoming attacks. Rest In Peace.

It is truly mind-boggling. New 72-73 degree water is butting up against 66 degree water by the Dip area and towards the Hudson. Where did this come from? A little over 10 days ago nothing was to be seen then all of a sudden we have a curl of beautiful low 70's temp water that looks like an eddy will form drawing water from the nearby Gulf Stream.
Reports of a couple of boats with small YF by the Hudson this weekend.
So they are definitely in the forefront of this water.
One can never tell what Mother Nature will do nor when, so I guess the morale of the story is keep your eyes peeled for changes.
Have you boat ready to head out when you can.
Offshore is producing and looks good now and short term. But I am just an observer and report what is happening.Mother Nature is definitely in charge as usual and can confound us when she wants.
Good luck.

Eddy, Say It Ain't So!

12 May Water Update

Guys, you know I just love this stuff. Even if I can't get out, following the water is fascinating and I love analyzing it.
Back on April 3 my  thread on a couple of forums started and eddy water was out by Block Canyon..
This past weekend that same eddy water had made its way down to Wilmington and Poorman's where a bunch of boats gathered and harvested yellowfin,bluefin,mako and bigeye. Bluefin were caught recently in the Chicken Canyon and sighted by Shrewsbury Rocks last week. That is the good news.

Now the bad news.

Look at the temp map from May 12th. There is not one warm water eddy to be seen. You can see a small warm trail that leads to the water by Baltimore Canyon area where aall the tuna were caught the other days, and some 60 degree water off the Hudson but there is nothing but cold water out east where our eddys come from. Nothing as far as the eye can see. At least not now.
So what is in store for the tuna near term 30-50 days? Probably only bluefin. Next stop Coimcardi? (Coimbra+Bacardi), Princess?
Not that that is so bad but it certainly does not sit well with offshore canyon hungry anglers who are not likely to spend $1200 to catch the one recreationally BF allowed.
I hope that some water quickly vortexes and materializes into an eddy
out by Hydrographers by then. You know Mother nature, no telling.
Thanks to Terrafin for the use of its SST service map.

Fin It on Pin It! -Pinterest

Pinterest! Ok, another social tool to spend time with! But this is easy to be connected and share with just by using photos. So, thinking about all the good images I see that come and go on FB, Twitter, I figured let me start a community photo board about the fish we caught and call it

Fin It-I created this page on Pinterest. Welcome to my FaceBook friends,Pin It users and social network to send me a link of your favorite fish shot & I will add to the Fin It Board. Here is the link to see the beginning.  http://pinterest.com/bigmahi/fin-it/ This could be a cool thing. Lots of great shots used here that would be great there. I already added some from here. Take a look. Be sure to included your name so it can be part of the caption.

I am not sure how many images can be on a board but I hope to find out.
