Well after making the drive out to Plymouth, MA with planned dives on the Endicott and then searching for another, we once again got skunked (4 weekends in a row) with heavy blowing fog and decided not to venture out in the boat. After a great lunch at a restaurant in the harbor, Earl called it and headed home, but my buddy Ed and I refused to stay dry and decided to drive down to Jamestown and get a shore dive in, although it was in doubles! :confused: We entered at the boat ramp, out around the island, and exited the east cove. 90 mins, 60' and 50-52 deg, with a spotty 10-15' vis at best. Lots of life is starting to show back up. Tons of juvenile cunner, a few tautog and stripers, some bugs (most shorts), a few black anenome's and even a few nudibrach's left. Definitely not the initial plan but a good chance to do some valve drills and practice shooting a new bag. Praying next weekend lets get back out on a wreck...or 2!!

IMHO; good call not venturing out there. While the Endicott can be pretty, she sure isn't worth getting beat up on a crappy day to dive.

If I may ask . . . what is the name of the "another" wreck that you were going to search for?

we were looking for something fairly shallow as a 2nd dive so Earl wanted to try to find the CG 58012. Any info?? We assumed it would have a pretty low profile (if any due to fire) but thought we would try the numbers and see if it came up on sonar. The Mars was another option but again were looking shallow. thx -B
 
I caught and released like 40 lobsters last night in Fort Wetherill... whats the deal? Where are the big guys?? Kings Beach was the same way last weekend!
