"My butcher was unloading them and said, 'Oh, my gosh, boss, they sent us cooked dead lobsters,'" said Sarro, owner of Fresh Catch Seafood in Mansfield, Mass. "He then picked one up and it crawled up his arm."
Reports of odd-colored lobsters used to be rare in the lobster fishing grounds of New England and Atlantic Canada. Normal lobsters are a mottled greenish-brown.
But in recent years, accounts of bright blue, orange, yellow, calico, white and even split lobsters — one color on one side, another on the other — have jumped. It's now common to hear several stories a month of a lobsterman bringing one of the quirky crustaceans to shore.

What I can tell you is that saltwater fishing is nothing short of terrific. And, for parents and grandparents of young children, there is some really good news.
Snapper blues are starting to show up.
Water temperatures in the Western Sound are in the high 60s and low 70s. Migratory fish, especially bluefish, appear to be spawning early.
Many anglers and the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) are reporting some catches of snapper or baby bluefish in many of the tidal rivers and are about 3 to 5 inches long. This is definitely an early arrival for these guys

Six fishermen from Niantic made a catch they'll never forget... moreSix fishermen from Niantic made a catch they'll never forget when they reeled a 13-foot shark in off the coast of Long Island.
On Wednesday, Paul Motta and five of his friends watched the sun come up from Rockaway Chater.
After a three-and-a-half-hour boat ride, they anchored about 30 miles off the coast of Montauk and Motta’s friend, Justin, hooked the thresher shark.
Hooking the animal was just part of the battle
