hey guys, just wondering if anyone knows if the Ocean Eagle is still going out at all. last sat i went out to find only one boat going for blackfish(not the OE) and i had a pretty lousy time. no live crabs in all of sheepshead bay, too, word is there is a "crab shortage". the conditions were as nice as they get, im not sure any swells were over 1' all day, and the water was smoking as far as the eye could see, so why would they not have gone?
i know a lot of boats pack up for the winter, and i heard a rumor that this winter (because we're expecting a cold one) the entire fleet will shut down by feb. any truth to this? anyone know what the Ocean Eagle's plans for winter are or how i can find out if they are going out sunday?

EC? any word?

yea, i know those #s in the ad and on the card are no help. it didn't look like they were shut down for the season, coolers and gaffs were still lashed to the benches and rails. just weren't going out that day.
id still like to go out on any boat going, im just limited to places accessable by public transportation (sheepshead bay) and its getting real tough to find a boat going out.
