Boy VG you are good, my wife would never believe me If I stayed away that long at someone's else house, she would have been looking for me.

Ah, haha, well, I was "between wives" at the time. I was free to roam without question. :headbang:

Third time's the charm, right?

If that were to happen now, though.... Oh Lord have mercy on my soul. :slap:

I went back 12yrs of rutger sea surface temps and the water temps in 2009,2010,and 2011 where the coldest of the past decade.The water temps for this Jan.have been in line with the other years in the record,where they were in the low to mid 60s.The reason that we are catching some of the things we are;is the pier is longer now.Water temp is back to average;in the 09,10,and 11,the water was 5-10 degrees colder than we might exspect.Weather is above ave.pines are raining pollen,some other trees are putting on flowers,even in Atlanta.Don't put away the winter gear yet;to average out the winter temps we are now enjoying,there will be deep drop in temps in Feb,or March will be colder than average.If I was growning peachs ,or strawberrys I would be planning to protect the early fruit sets.Years ago when Baldwin Co. was tarter county,the farmers hated the weather and temps we have this year,because they knew that there was a very good chance that the taters were going to get killed back,and they would have to replant.

How close in-shore? I see the rare picture of ones caught from pier [which would be awesome :yippee: ], but mostly curious about water temps.

Not anywhere close but for the past few months it has been hard just seeing fish. Something has got them moving!!

I’m guessing warmer than normal, based on it being 70+ degrees for the next couple day!

Nothing goes together better than:
January, Tee shirts. Shorts, Flip Flops and Gulf Shores!
Whoop! Whoop!

Perhaps some ladies can break out their Polartec bikinis. oke:

Is it just me or has anybody else noticed yellow pollen residue on the ground after the rain yesterday morning?
Early or normal?

[/size]

About 'normal' for late January.
It's mostly pine pollen.

On a related note it seems that every japanese magnolia in Mobile is blooming this week!
Noticed several redbud and pinkbud trees blooming too. :headbang:

The birds have been going 'bonkers' this week singing :P
