Were you on a private boat or a charter. If so what charter did you use? I will look at the videos later. I cant access them at work.

May - 55º F
June - 66º F
July - 73º F
August - 75º F
September - 71º F
October - 64º F

The water temp over the last few weeks have hovered about 49-50 º F and the vis has been 10-15 average, a few worse days and a few 20-30 ft days..

How do you retrieve data from the NOAA buoys? Is there a website? Do they have any near Hatteras or Morehead City?

I think we're into wetsuit temperatures now... finally. Do you think it's a go this weekend Jeremiah? Weather's looking a little sketchy.
