But for me it's still cabin fever, when it's blowing and cold outside. And like buck fever, I get Speckled Trout fever where I just can't wait to get on them again.
Here in Jacksonville Florida, yesterday 1/21 it was gale Force winds and probably 40 degrees.
The nice thing about the southern hemisphere is that the CRAP doesn't last very long.
Today it was 65 at least and calm winds and blue skies.
The barometer said, GO FISHING DAVE!
So I headed out at 10am, because of the tide and Full moon. Perfect! negative tides and lots of water flow in the big St, Johns River.
at least 25 Specks later a Sheepshead and a small Flounder, I was one happy guy. Water surface temps are at about the lowest of the year here at a chilly 55 degrees. Two days ago it was 59, so the high winds and cold had a big effect.
Here's a few pics. I know they ain't Tuna or Halibut, but just as hard to catch if ya ain't in the KNOW. It's not their size but what ya have to know to be successful every day you go fishing for them....
Plus they eat great and I had me a JUMBO plate full of fried Specks and baked beans 30 minutes after I walked in the door. Of course boat cleaning doen't take very long at all...a splash here and there and I'm ready for next trip.
Florida Fog, always means a good fishing day. It's an atmospheric thing. I love a foggy day. This is from the boat ramp looking at the pilot boat heading to a freighter heading to the inlet as the fog starts to roll in at 4pm.
Oh here's one for ya'...... Build it and they will come!
British Columbia had a Elk problem? The hiway now is where the Elk used to migrate through. So they built a bridge for those horny bastards.
HELL MY OWN DOG WON'T WALK ON THE ALUMINUM RAMP AT THE DOCK, BECAUSE SHE'S A REAL "GIRLY" DOG...so who's smarter Elk or a my dog?
