All of us have seen the unusually warm temperatures this winter, I can't even remember where my snow shovel is.

Interesting stats from NOAA that make me think we could see an early striper migration if water temps hold.

Woods Hole: avg. for Jan.: 34 degrees, currently 38 degrees

Portland, ME: avg. for Jan.: 34 degrees, currently 43 degrees

Newport, RI: avg. for Jan.: 37 degrees, currently 43 degrees

These temps are more like what we get in late March or early April.

	Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.
