Low Front and collision make for a weird morning

Today had all the ingredients for a great morning, grey and overcast, a bit cooler with a light NE wind. Problem was surface temp was 10 degrees cooler than yesterday and the big bluefish we have been on when bye bye. We opted to run to the race area and try for bass and were greeted by many boats jigging wire....I saw several tight rods but they all seemed like rat blues. We struggled as well on the LT but nailed a nice 22lb bass on a RONZ and a few shorts and a few bluefish thrown in....We marked plenty of fish but just could not get them to chew.
The highlight of the morning was watching a 40' Riviera run over a group of folks in a small downeaster with an outboard.....The coasties escorted both back to Pamet where they tied up the dock for awhile...While I waited to dock I asked for a courtesy check to make sure I was all in order and was glad to hear I was....
Talked to the folks in the downeaster and they said they boat just ran them over while they were drifting....Scary stuff...Luckily nobody was hurt...
