Offshore predictions? Water is shaping up

[plj46]

We had an El Nino in 2009 ?

I talked to a guy who brought his boat in last night in Oceanside and he was seeing 65 degree water. He said he checked his logbook from last year and exactly a year ago he was reading 55 degree water.

I believe the "tide has turned" from the last two years.

This could be the last summer before all the Fukishima junk starts showing up.

Looks like the spring winds are settling in and will cool temps down...

guy above was right - 2009 was not quite an el nino year (but it was real close). The "mean" of the el nino forecasts for later this year are now predicting we will have one. Check out this site from Australia and click on the "climate forecasts" tab:

I think albacore will be earlier than that for you guys! We're already getting tuna water 60nm off of the Bay Area...we'll be killing them here by the 3rd week of June.

I Dont even plan on fishing out of san diego this year. Its been to much of a let down. After my 31 fish trip out of morro bay , I m heading north unless something changes down there. I hope so...... the weather and sun make it so much nicer. Maybe the shotty fishing for seabass will equate to a good paleagic season ???? So many variables..... impossible to predict. I hope for our sake something breaks and we can actually have something to show for our five hundred dollars. Like the guys on wicked tuna..... Ya !!!!!!

The water up North looks awesome! Monterey / Santa Cruz area are already shaping up!!
