El Nino is a weather phenomenon which leads to an abnormal warming of waters in the equatorial Pacific Ocean, recurring roughly once every three years.
The anomaly was first noticed by Latin American anchovy fishermen in the 19th century and was named in honor of the Christ child because it would take place around the year-end Christmas holiday season.
What does this mean for anglers living in Southern California? It means a huge procession towards the waters of San Diego...these are the conditions that we dream for. Better take advantage...
