Had an eco-tour yesterday afternoon and we ran to the Lighthouse and up the East River to check out the birds (there are a ton, including lots of ducks). Water temperature in East River was a chilly 52 degrees.
Back up the St. Marks River all the way to the Newport bridge. When I fished there on New Year's Eve I found pockets of water nudging 67 degrees. Yesterday the warmest water I found was 58. JT's power plant trout were all wearing down jackets.

The couple boats we encountered had caught a few, but it certainly wasn't on fire in more ways than one. Bite should be good this weekend though, with the warming trend and full moon tides.
