its the weather
i mean the reproduction rate due to pollution in the Chesapeake bay and subsequent disease
is having an undesirable affect on numbers....
but the cold temps hanging around has changed ....dramatically
every two years .... spring has moved up by 1 week
i used to be able to plant my peas every year on Saint Patrick's day
not any more....
there's a 30 day difference now
or roughly 4 weeks for spring to arrive
for ground temps and water temps...
so ADJUST YOUR CALENDER
