Nice work B - really great write-ups and pics of some impressive dives ... as much as it pains me to say with a straight face and not be breaking your balls.

Good stuff... Looks like a great dive. Any big bugs on the wreck?

We hit the 160' Wood Wreck Sunday. Scallops, Bugs, huge Tog & Sea Bass, & cold water. Strange year in that the bottom Temps haven't varied much from May. 48 - 50 for the most part on all the dives. It's usually in the high fifty's to low 60's by now. We had real crud top water and a dark 20' - 25' on bottom at 155'.

Wow, Cogan I never saw that coming from you... nearly brought a tear to my eye.

Richie,

I forgot to mention that... there was a decent amount of bugs and scallops brought up. Nothing big, but there were a lot there. I did see several large fluke , but no sea bass or tog. Although, now that I am gainfully employed I tend not to notice the food as much

B. The pictures are pretty good. The way you were talking, I though they would be crap. Nice write-up too.

Richie,
The wreck was crawling with lobster. They were walking about in broad daylight. When we went to tie in, there was a lobster with it's claws on the shot. Bill got a pair 3-4 pounders along with a few others. I was bagging for Bill, and was still able to grab a few.
