All of this was again this year correctly predicted by 'Gulf Shores Ghostley' the ghost crab.
She lives under the Gulf State Park Pier and emerges out of her burrow every year on February 2nd.
The tradition is if the ghost crab sees her shadow it means 6 more weeks of winter (which it did!) :headbang:

:puke: that sucks im ready for warm weather!

This cool Spring might mean a decent Cobia season :yippee: but we will have to see.

Rain is bad enough, now cold. Bummer.

We can hope that it will produce a more intense spring and summer bite once the water does warm up.

I like your glass half full attitude !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
