The lobsters are working their way in closer to shore. Did 2 tanks off a boat in Plymouth yesterday. What a beautiful day for diving. Maxed at about 28 feet, viz was easily 20 feet in places. Temps ranged from 54 to 62. There was a vertical thermocline running along the shore, it was very visible, running from almost the surface to 25 feet.
Took 8 keepers and 4 flounder between 2 of us. Had to return one that was 1/16 over max :sad: Saw lots of big eggers close to shore.
Had a conversation with a Patriot Ledger reporter at the ramp. He is doing a story in Saturday's paper on lobster boats. He wasn't aware that divers can take them too. He's going to include us in the story. I hope I didn't say anything too stupid.
Did a shore dive this morning at Brant Rock. Almost called it due to viz, but we figured it would get better as we got out of the mild surf, and it improved to about 6 feet. Pulled a couple of monsters out for their daily diver encounter. Took one keeper. Water was a balmy 62 - I wish I dove wet, I was roasting.
North Atlantic is sponsoring a dive at Brant Rock Saturday at 9AM. I'll probably do that, as our boat-owning buddy is heading north for a week at Hermit Island. If anyone wants to join, let me know.
