We had a quick drop in water temp last night when the wind switched to West. Southwest winds push the warm water near the surface of the Atlantic Ocean away from shore, allowing colder water along the bottom to move in. It is also called up-welling. The water temp can drop drastically and quickly when we have SW winds.
There will be no fishing report on Monday. Will catch up on Tuesday.
