Last yr vs. This yr
Coop keeps saying how the sharkin this year is way behind what it was last year. Well in 2005 there were 7 named storms by this point and there were another 16 that followed. I also read that the Florida beach sharkin guys had a horrid year in 2005. Think it was just a function of the overactive hurricane season pushing fish and warm water up the coast?
How was it in 2004 and past years compared to 2005? Season Summary There were a record 27 named storms, of which 15 were hurricanes, exceeding the 1969 record of 12 hurricanes, and 7 were major hurricanes. Of the 7 major hurricanes, an unprecendented 4 reached category 5 status. The season was remarkable for its early beginning and number of storms as well as the intensity of the hurricanes, including the most intense hurricane on record for the Atlantic. Many records were broken during the season and a list of the most notable are available at the end of this summary. Early Season The 2005 season began early with Tropical Storm Arlene forming on June 9th from a tropical depression in the southwest Caribbean Sea. Tropical Storm Bret also formed in June making it only the 13th time since 1851 that 2 tropical storms are known to have formed in June. A record active July followed, wherein 5 named storms (Cindy, Dennis, Emily, Franklin and Gert) formed. The previous record for the number of named storms in July was four. Of the 5 named storms, 2 major hurrianes formed tying a record set in 1916. The seven named storms that had formed up until the end of July represented a record level of activity for the first two months of the season. Last edited by Charkbait; 07-27-2006 at 07:58 AM..

That sounds like a good theory to me...
It was rather nasty in FL last year. I fished 5 days straight last fall in FL and only caught one Chark. I was in the good spots too, near beach and in the channel cut. Maybe it was just a bad week but it was between storms.
