ROFFS™ FISHERIES OCEANOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS (LAT./LONG.)
FOR THE WILMINGTON CANYON TO THE NORFOLK CANYON OFFSHORE SPRING SPECIAL
UPDATED ON MONDAY 04 APRIL 2016
We are providing a complimentary analysis of the overall ocean conditions within our Wilmington to Norfolk Offshore Canyon charted area. We have included some spot sea surface temperatures (°F) and located the main eddy features with arrows indicating the flow direction of the water. Overall, what we are most encouraged about is the recent push of the direct Gulf Stream and related filament water into this southern and eastern charted area and directly into the southern canyons. As you can see, there is now direct Gulf Stream filament water (68°F-70°-72°F) pushing directly over the Washington to Norfolk Canyons over the 100-500 fathom ledges but also as far inshore as 40-50 fathoms. The movement of the offshore direct Gulf Stream and related eddies has created a clockwise rotating flow east-northeast of Washington Canyon and is pushing the direct Gulf Stream filament water (68°F-70°F) farther northward into the Rockpiles and almost into Poor Mans Canyon. Therefore, get your boats ready for when the weather breaks, do not miss out on some early season tuna, mahi, wahoo, shark, swordfish and even billfish action.
