Seattle of the South?

I spent today fishing from the beach and caught a lot of 'salad'. The fish cannot find the bait with all the seaweed snagged in the hook and the water is muddy brown. Even on days when the seaweed is not making floating grassy islands, I am catching very few fish compared to previous years. Perhaps people with boats who can afford the gas to fish offshore are having better luck but I am wondering what happened to the near-shore fish. The shoreline water seems colder than usual for mid-summer, too. So, I agree with Beachlover ... this is not fun in the sun. What I do find funny is our Tallahassee forecaster. Here is Today's snippet from the Tallahassee weather discussion ... made me laugh again... crying is the other option.

.SHORT TERM [Monday Through Tuesday]...
One item that keeps coming to mind if we are unable to shake this
wet and troughy pattern across the SE US (for the second consecutive
summer nonetheless), is that Tallahassee may soon become known as
the Seattle of the South, only with much more rainfall and higher
temps. Not really much else of value to add, other than that PoPs
will continue above climo and Max temps will continue below, and the
disturbed pattern and strong 1000-700mb Mean Layer Vector Winds will
make the Sea Breeze very difficult to develop.
