Man, has things gone cookies up here. I went from "strokin' the phatties" , to wishin' for a bite!!!!
Anytime our waters get below 60 it's bad, when they get down to 53, it's really bad. And recovery is a long slow proccess.
That's where we are now. Back in the 60's.....and waiting for some miracle to make them "bite" again.
Around my river area you'll hear this simple statement; "It's February.....go figure" alot. But I can't slow down or the repo man's a comin'!
So I have to make something out of this situation. And I work as hard as I can, and really show my folks that I am working hard for them dispite me knowing there's not much I can do to change the water temp.
Today was better than yesterday, when a nasty, rainy front came thru and shut evertything down.
Today we actually caught a few Speckled trout and one Sheepshead. (not even close to a good day, but at least we gave away a few live shrimp, to BITES!
Here's what knocks ya off your anchor when ya have a 1 to 1 ratio of anchor rode scope out....this baby had to be 900 feet long coming right at us, then shifted to stay in the channel. Yep, the displacement of such a biggy at dead low tide sucked the water from under my boat, then pushed it back again....which made us slide right off the Trout spot, and we caught a Sheepshead instead. Then left for the barn.

It was 72 on land, 62 on the water, with alot of sun shine that the water needs so badly. Water came up to, 65 degrees at dead low tide.
But still "BITES" are hard to get.
It's still.......FEBRUARY!
And I absolutely hate it!
