: El Nino

What's everyone's take on what this year's El Nino will bring?

I'm hoping similar conditions as the 2015-2016 El Nino. I remember lots more bat rays and sharks along the shoreline. Also hooking up with a yellow tail on the Newport Beach jetty. (I'll bring a gaff next time).

My predictions have been wrong every year for the past 5 years so I give up. Maybe I should stop predicting black marlin.

I don't remember a Spring this warm, full stop. Which makes me think this could be a ridiculously warm year.

Or it flips, we have a cold May, temps settle back to normal, and we forget all this ever happened. I feel like something like that happened last year or so. Warm spring, then water temps dropped below 60 at the end of June.

A yellow from the jetty would be nice though! Even just some consistent bonito would be great.

I agree with Jeremy... With that said, I hope 1997 and 2015 merge so it's from World Record Albies to wahoo! Lol
