Noting that today was about the best day I could try to make a run to do some trolling, I decided to take the day off and go. I literally had to knock the ice off the boat when I headed out, but the conditions were great. I tried every rock, nook, and cranny I knew of between the Lighthouse and the St. Marks Reefs. Unfortunately, I didn't get a single pull on the rod. I did manage to have a bonified Arse cut my trolling path not just once, but twice, ON TWO DIFFERENT SPOTS (miles from each other), i.e. after having Mr. Arse cut my path on one area, I gave up the spot and headed towards the hill and tried another spot. I wasn't there trolling 30 minutes when Mr. Arse came and cut my path again.......
I did have the pleasure of getting a boating inspection from FWC Officer Mallow. Mr. Mallow was very pleasant to deal with and represented his agency well.
Fishing particulars: Clear water, calm seas, with some build up in the afternoon. The water temps ranged between 45 - 47 (surface). I tried just about every stretch color in the box.
Sorry fishing day, but still a nice day to make it out on the water.

Thanks for the report. At least we know they weren't biting yesterday. Maybe in a week or two it will get better.

Fish don't bite when it's cold.

Dave, did you have any snow up there?

No, it wasn't as bad as they thought it would be. It rained last night but it didn't get below 36 degrees. I talked to a friend of mine a few minutes ago who works in downtown Atlanta and he said North ave is nothing but ice from Piedmont to Blvd. I am sure things are tricky up there.

Good to meet you guys at the meeting last night.
Ya'll need to go to the Roll Call thread and sign up for the Redfish Tournament in February.
