I realize that you were not being critical of the operation. The crew was aware of the timing problem in that first, the water temp was not cooperating. As I recall it was either a bit too cool for the fish to be in the shallows or the water temp was falling. When the water temp started rising or when the shallows started to warm up enough it got very windy, necessitating aborting their first day or two on the water. I know they went down to Chester one day, started electrofishing, and got blown off by the high waves after only completing a couple of sampling sites. Such is sampling sometimes, but fortunately we, now they, usually hit the timing right. Over the decades the first day of sampling has gradually had to be moved forward due to increasingly warmer water temps earlier in May. The first week of May did not used to be very good. More recently conditions have been more favorable during that week on the sampling sites (Am not including Trenton in this comment). I can only tell you that it is very “painful” for the crew when they can’t get on the water due to wind when all other conditions are quite favorable.
