El Nino - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

This is not a kayak fishing report, but as it relates to this discussion, I thought that I'd weigh in here. I was out on a day and a half on the Islander charter trip on Friday and for 28 guys my we only caught 24 tuna total. The fish were scattered and apparently none of the boats were finding any kind of quantity of fish. According to the crew, it had been very slow fishing for about a week. We were all wondering if the El Niño was over and if the water temp was dropping.

When we go to the dock on Saturday morning, the long range boats had just gotten in and were unloading their catch. They had huge bluefin, but I'm guessing that they were much farther south than where the local boats were going.
