Where have all the lobsters gone?

"Lobster on Georges Bank and in the Gulf of Maine are doing OK, but Southern New England is the one area where we are seeing a significant stock decline,"

The answer my friend, is blowin in the wind...

but seriously, I heard it was due to water temps being a bit lower than normal this year and the bigger ones are staying out deeper till it warms up more?
I've just been diving for lobster for the past few years but I have noticed that more come in later in the season...hopefully it will go the same this year.

I guess we did leave a few scallops on the bottom. By the way, how was the viz in the Hahbah today, Pat?

I didn't dive, Jim, but the boys said the viz. was much better this week. It was too rough to go out to the wrecks, so we put them in for scallops again. They at least doubled what they took last week. See you soon. P.

Bobby be patient, i'm sure it will be plenty of lobsters in July.

Wow, that's a nice haul. Glad viz is improving(couldn't have gotten worse).
