Remember this? February 2015! We thought it would never end!

[bulletbob]

Yeah, we didn't have global warming back then... Good thing its back!

Obarry is out, global warming is over.

[Duffman]

Yeah man!! Remember when those pics went up originally here.

HATE mild winters like we have had this year. No $

Billfish---looks like a highjack...
First: it's early February-wait!
Second: For Bulletbob-- Real question--Who's flown into LA International lately? Navy sent me there in 1959 and you couldn't see the city for the smog. Still the same? Everyone was pissing & moaning about global warming then---isn't air pollution much less now?

Here's a good quick quick read concerning LA smog from the 40's until now... the air there is not perfect, but its vastly better than it was 50 years ago...

Global climate change never left:

Weather in one location isn't global, nor is it climate.

I took a ride down to keyport and highlands to get a first hand look at that and man was it cool. This year compered to 2015 is totally opposite.

When NOAA figures out how to control the weather, then I might believe that they know how to control the growth of the fluke populations. They can't control the weather, no less predict it accurately; and, they sure haven't done such a great job over the last 30 years trying to regulate the fluke fishing. They need to face it. They have been regulating fluke fishing for a long, long time and each few years, they say that the fluke population is dwindling. They were in charge! They called the shots! Hey NOAA! First, figure out the wind direction and velocity correctly the next time I take my boat out; then come talk to me about the fluke regulations.

As for the winter of 2015........that was then, this is now. That was the winter that would never end.....or so it seemed. Look at it now. Go figure. Don't try to out think Mother Nature!

NOAA's job is to forecast the weather for a specified length of time in the near future, not to control it or "out think Mother Nature," and their role in fisheries regulation is an entirely separate issue. The next time you take your boat out, you have the choice of listening to weather predictions from professional meteorologists at NOAA and other agencies or just relying on your own instincts. The former seems like a more sensible option.
