Water temps are already warming. Currently, they're at 41 degrees in Newport. The Block Island buoy seems to have gone offline, but the Montauk one is showing 43 and Nantucket is showing 45. Assuming we don't have a terrible middle/late Spring, I think we are in for an early squidding season. Now, the big question is, will this be like last year where they hit hard in Mass. or the year before where they hit hard in Newport or the year before that where they didn't hit anywhere at all until the Fall?
