Atlantic Ocean Temperatures as of yesterday.
Sorry for the crappy picture, I could not get the satellite to focus correctly.
This weekend should be incredible for collecting.
That is a huge pocket of warm water that separated from the gulf stream.
I hope we get one of those the day of our trip.

When I was a kid, I did tons of dragnetting for abit every day, all summer long. Now, as a flyfisherman, I dragnet on occasion to keep in toucb with what the bigger fish might be chomping on. My sons and I used a 20 ft dragnet in Patchogue Bay and caught, among other tings, pompano. Someone in Fishys had a ton of tiny butterfly fish. I was shoicked to see them!

Also, if anyone feeds their tanks silversides last year there were more than you could possibly use in a year--bring ziplock bags and you can bag them fro the freezer right on the beach and you'll never have to buy them again.

I never cleaned mine and i had no problems. Freezing them will kill off any pathogens that might be there.

last years collection went for about 2 hrs from start to finish,. if we get really lucky and you plan on keeping anything.. bring a bucket with lid. and it would be nice to give Joe a break and do a turn in net dragging (he is getting on in the years ), so I would bring something old and dry's easy. if you have waders they really would come in handy.
of course last year i happen to find out to late how much I out grew mine...
so I advise to try them on before you come.
as far as snorkling etc. if we're going to the same spot as last year, there was a pier or something there that you can look around the pilings for stuff. I don't know what you will find because no one did that. It's a large flat bottom bay .
I plan on bringing a cooler with ice hopefully dry ice ( tons of spearing for my RBTA and bubble coral) and a bucket with lid.
like I said in one of my posts... Joe told us last year the picking were slim and we still caught.
baby box fish,
look downs
gunards
a few baby butterfly's ( raccoon?)
grass shrimps
baby puffers
micro algaes
spearing
even if you don't bring anything home with ya.. it was still very educational and hellofa lot of fun!
