Tuesday January 8th, 2008 Recovering From a Cold(Snap).
Well, a couple of days ago the flats were devoid of life. No bait, no mullet, no fish to be seen anywhere. Today however, we saw fish but they just weren't that hungry. I don't know if it was high pressure or the fact that all the fish that survived the cold snap had plenty to eat because of all of the dead baitfish laying at the bottom of the sea. Either way... the fish didn't seem to hungry.
Hopefully we'll get a break from cold fronts for a few days. Our fish could stand the break once the free buffet of frost bitten, dead, baitfish dries up and the fish begin to feel comfortable with the water temps again, the bite should take off. only time will tell.
Either way, I had a great time hanging out with Jon and Gabe again. When we hook up again next, the snook should be heading towards the beach and the reds should be in huge schools.

John
was in town again visiting with his son Gabe and they wanted to do
some fishing. As you know we've had a very mild Winter this year and
the fishing has been great. That was until this past week's cold
snap. The air temps dropped below freezing and the water temps
dropped to about 50 degrees. that was a few days ago and now we've
had a few days of near 80 degree weather and I was thinking that
these fish would be hungry coming out of the cold front we'd just
had. 
We
covered a great deal of water and saw many fish but all we managed
were 4 redfish and 3 really tiny trout. The reds came on frozen
pinfish fished under a cork and the trout came on frozen pinfish
fished on a jig head.
