It's been too cold for too long here in sunny? Florida. We've had about four days of nice weather so I figured that the fish might want to start eating. My fishing buddy (in the dark blue shirt) and I heading out of the Chassowitska River ramp with the tide about 3/4 low. The temp awas about 72 with the wind out of the NE, which tends to blow the water of of the creeks. Perfect conditions for the kind of fishing we do down her in the airboat.
We used live shrimp and DOA plastic shrimp in 1/4 oz rootbeer color. While the fish weren't really stacked up in any one place, we did manage to catch some real nice redfish and about 15 speckled trout up to about 24". Trout are out of season so they went back. The reds went back too.
The last stop of the day was in a spring fed creek. The water in the creek is about 10 degrees warmer than in the bay. We generally see tons of big snook, reds and mullet in the s[pring creeks when the weather is cold like this. This time, all we saw were mullet and lots of ladyfish. We caught ladyfsih until we got tired and headed for the truck. Hope you enjoy the pics....V/R
