I don't know but I'm starting to get an uneasy feeling about the coming season's weather

So far we've had a 200 year flood...unbelievably warm temps for the first week in April which will result in earlier than normal ocean temps locally...and there is also a strong El Nino this year

All the vegetation and especially the perennials in our yard are weeks - if not a full month - early

I don't know what the old Indian who lives down the road from Raven is calling for, but tell him there's an old greenhorn in Newport who thinks we've got a real good shot at the Big One this year...

	"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
