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.
