Effects of La Niña on BCS fishing?

A little online reading suggest that the general trend is El Niño bad (few anchovies, more storms), La Niña good, with colder water and more plankton at the base of the food chain. And it sounds like this year is a La Niña year!

Does anyone have thoughts on how that translates in to actual fishing conditions? Does it mean anything "actionable" like more yellowtail near the surface, or better inshore fishing?

I've been fishing from my kayak over Christmas time for many years without really learning much about this. Here's an example of the stuff I've been reading: https://datamares.org/stories/a-description-of-el-ninola-nin...
