There was another striper caught off of the Sand Point yesterday, by a fly fisherman if I heard correctly. Gage tried yesterday evening and caught nothing. It is fishing, and surf fishing at that. Not much else going on here but the rain this weekend.  But elsewhere...

    So, rumors of a "super El Niño" this year are growing, although an actual ENSO positive situation remains to be seen. It is forecast but has yet to resolve. The Blob is here and is warming waters, mostly by preventing most of the onshore winds of spring. There's been some windy days this year but not nearly as many as normal. It's kinda cool. SoCal water gurus are calling for a repeat of 2015. If you are unfamiliar with the importance of this, read this report from 2015 from July through October. Lots of white seabass. And similar things are happening this year. Yesterday the Shogun long range boat out of San Diego caught yellowfin on day one of a three day trip. Today they caught a dorado. These are August fish, if you're lucky. April seems awful early for August fish. Maybe this is 2015 redux. Salmon sucked in 2015. We needed this last year. Well, like someone once said, you can't always get what you want, but sometimes you get what you need.
