Will it attract baitfish close to shore and draw Bluefins in close? Does it really make any difference at all? Anybody have logs with info relating to how the fishing was after an abnormally warm winter?

I don't have anything useful on this in my logs, but I remember discussions w/ buddies about this in the past. If I remember correctly, we weren't able to draw a clear connections. Maybe, since we were looking mostly at early river fishing, the other factors like rain fall and water levels had as much of an impact on whether or not we were catching. The lack snow melt could lead to low river levels, making it easier for shad and herring to get upstream more easily. My bet is that there is a strong link between length of daylight and spawning of bait fish and bass. Temperature probably has some influence, but who knows what the range of influence is...
