cold and more cold

Its mid feb and its still cold. We had a serious snook kill in the park and lost lots of small tarpon. This spring will be the barometer of the snook kill as they emerge on to the flats.
Water temps have been in the sixties most areas, however if you check out a sat photo of water temps you will see that the gulf stream has temps in the seventies which helps keep the bay warmer which it has.
Tarpon fishing there has been excellent and will continue into April, also baracudas, sharks and bonefish are still on the flats and are a good bet.
Pick you tides/days. Water temps in the seventies will add the odds in your favor.

My tip: Believe what you see and 10% of the dock talk that you hear. Slant and outright untruths about catches by fisherman are as common as saltwater. Create a plan and STICK TO IT. Never let dock talk sway a plan or you will be sorry.......... I personally dont care what others are doing on forums or elsewhere, rely on your experience and judgement and you cant go wrong.
