So, is it the year of the "El Nino"?? Some strange weather already this year... I caught a brief news story this morning but couldn't confirm if they thought this may be a/the year for an El Nino.... The weather in Florida has brought a lot of West wind recently (over the last month) which is unusual ...(and poor for fishing) ... I also read the last El Nino was in 92' ... the year Joel had his good luck with the 827...(and 722) ... ... Brett also seems to tell of very nice weather for the Pacific NorthWest early this year.....(PNWGPG)... Any ideas/insights???? Tim.... Gulf Coast.... Florida
