I agree! Why did I think I was going to stay home & Tog thru the winter? Even MD looks inviting at this point, well maybe in a week anyway!

Offshore is a different story - but the inshore stuff gets real tough inside of 40.

When I read this I wondered if “Mendoza Line” was a term named after some scientist. Now I know. BTW. What is the “Mendoza Line” for a Party/Charter boat captain?

During the winter a few years ago when we had the good cod fishing, water temps were usually 36-37 degrees. Cod and pollack don't care very much about water temps as they are still having great pollack fishing up in New Hampshire.
