Out in the Gulf o Maine and headed towards Nova Scotia.
Water depth 718 ft on the next net set.
Overnight the catches included:

Blackbellied rosefish
acadian redfish
witch flounder
smooth skates
thorny skates
a few haddock
some dogfish
atlantic herring
alewife
silver hake
white hake
red hake
longfin hake
lobster
various small pink shrimp
a couple of tiny octopus
goosefish
sea ravens
some other misc fish I didn't get to see....

Saw a few whales blowing when I went out during the afternoon break. The marine mammal guy said the closer to the Bay of Fundy we get - the more we should see. Still not bad out here, sunny and cold(40F?). No wind yet...
