------darn--------there goes that FOX NEWS again, reporting subversive information undermining the PC prevailing "point of view".
Obviously they should be sanctioned.

Just curious what part of the West Coast is averaging 52 degrees? Obviously nothing south of Santa Barbara. I'm sure Fox News also reported we
weren't in a recession.

YFT at Asuncion on Christmas Day seems a bit unusual.
Perhaps Shari should send her reports to provide some balance.

Nice spot of warm water sitting off of Shari's place. There is still Tuna being caught as close as Ensenada.
Heres a link to Tempbreak, it covers the whole coast.

Generally, the world's oceans are 1/2 degree F warmer than 50 years ago.
The anomaly is the Pacific water off California, which is 1/2 degree colder...most likely due to a refusal to accept a majority decision. 
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

We had a huge red pelagic crab bloom here a couple weeks ago and the water is in the mid seventies at least..., the beach was red with the little
buggers...some people throw em in the frying pan...they're pretty darn good...taste like mini shrimp.
Still lots of tuna and YT around these days....smoker is workin overtime!

Are you refering to the red pelagic crabs? The tuna crabs? I've seen them in the past at Asuncion. I think krill are too small to be eaten
individually. Maybe they make a pate out of them.

It seems there are many kinds of krill both cold and warm varieties,I had a encounter a few years back,1/4 square mile of these guys,their color was
light green to a darker shade.
We were on the inside of the north end of Smith island,and so were hundreds of skipjacks,yellows,sierra,
sharks and to top it all off two whales all feeding on the krill
There we were right in the middle of all that chaos in a 12' tin boat
needless to say a fine time was had by all until the whales would head our way,then it was hold your breath.

I had the same experience in almost the same place, the south end of Smith Island.
I found lots of those jumping rays all in one area. They were so many they formed a wake that could be seen from a distance. As I got closer I
realized they were just filtering krill right out of the water like a baleen whale. The krill were so small you couldn't see them individually very
easily. They were like a dark cloud. That area gets a lot of upwhelling and the plankton just love it.
Isn't the cortez fascinating? You never know what you're going to find each day you go out. Better than reading - that's for sure.

Surface water temperature, by the way, was around 77 degrees.

Know that feeling well Baitcast. Here is an underwater view of some krill
from BOLA I took years ago.
