James with a nice pompano on one of the coldest days of the year way back in a creek hiding from the wind.

Coldest water temps we’ve seen since 2010 at 50 degrees. Haven’t seen any fish kills thank goodness but temps got dangerously close. The bite went cold too. Not much action but we did get into some bluefish and trout on artificial. Didn’t fish live bait as we kept on the move with artificial to see if we could find some consistent action on the cold days. This week temps get back to normal and the beaches calm down. The action should improve as the water temps climb back into the mid 60s to low 70s in the lagoon. Look for some action from trout and a few snook along with bluefish, mackerel pompano and jacks.
