I don’t want to jinx us by saying winter is finally over and spring is in the air but I am. Our area waters can finally get some much-needed warmer water for the fish to start feeding aggressively.

Friday’s weather hit the high 80’s and was so much like spring arrived but this morning changed it up again with 40 degree cold once again.

I have come out of my hibernation this week, sort of. This week’s weather looks like Spring is in the air for our Frozen Tundra Florida.

Not much of a fishing report even though I did sneak out to wet a line before the wind machine kicked on. We have had some really nice Florida weather for a few days where the rest of the country is plowing snow.

This past week was all about an old friend and a fly rod. I first met John from a referral from another guide for someone to take him on a fly-fishing charter. This was over 18 years ago and ever since that first outing we have spent time on the boat together with our fly gear.

Wow was it cold this past week. This will be a short report for me since I didn’t get out of my heavy fleece ware until Saturday.

The boat is hooked up and I’m heading out to the Stick Marsh with my grandson for our last outing for 2025. I fished it on Friday too and the bite was so-so for numbers and size.

Fishing on your favorite pond for the next 3 months means one thing, The Spawn. Bass anglers relate to it as their Mullet Run so to speak. What is really great is we get to fish all three phases at the same time, pre-spawn and post spawn.

Old man winter snuck through last night and my wind chimes on our back porch are working overtime. Last week’s weather was great, now another front. This will be the pattern for a while here on the Space Coast.

The Stick Marsh gave me some fun this past week. I started later in the morning due to the Full Moon that we had. My first two hours I spent in the Nursery area in shallower waters but didn’t get any bites whatsoever.
