With the water temperature hitting the magic number of 65 today, and the weather only getting hotter for the rest of the week, the first king cant be to far around the corner... right??? If I were in the first king competition I would be very happy with march 23 right now.
Yeah that sun will really blister the hide off ya ;-) lol
well Mr. John g did say the 22nd on his prediction....I am hoping to see it the 26th myself for the first king.
water temp is still 61.........
That's the day I picked!Quote:

I will be Snobbling Cigs this weekend I would like to be out there when the first King or Cobia is caught Just heard water is really 65 degrees and heres a page I just found seems like has reports from all over http://www.halfhitch.com/stores/destin/fishing-reports
Such is problematic when trying to assign an arbitrary dynamic number (such as water temperature).
Just because the water temperature spiked up to 65 degrees at 42012 doesn't mean a thing really.
In fact it's already dropped back down several degrees...

And after this end-of-the-week-warm-up (to about average for the date) the (air) temps will again fall below average next week :-(
The climatic trend for the whole winter has been below average temperatures.
As long as that trend continues fish migrations and such will be 'behind' schedule.
yes sir a cool down is on the way again, at least up here, below average Sunday on
Yep, I'm afraid my early April pick is looking better and better---if it weren't for the custom rod, I'd hope it was way late.
ironman u picked a good date! thats what i think its gonna be
Okaloosa got a report of a few spanish yesterday hopefully something good is coming our way before the temps go back down again….
i caught some spanish on march 2nd this year just cause there catching a few keychains doesent mean anything still i hope your right.. IMHO i dont think well catch a king till april....smh
I just hope it is a better catching year, then the last one....no matter when it starts, just hope once it does.... it continues , so I can read great catching reports and dreaming I was there http://www.gulfcoastfishingconnectio...dreamBeach.gif http://www.gulfcoastfishingconnectio...sc/fishing.gif catching that http://www.gulfcoastfishingconnectio...wasTHISbig.gif and please when they start http://www.gulfcoastfishingconnectio...otographer.gif Please share
Another way to consider this is 'with the math'.Quote:

If I had to assign ONE number to describe the water temp I would simply tell folks "it's about 63 degrees." ;-)
Hope this helps!
yes its going to cool down again here but then its going to be in the upper 60's again next thursday should be a good weekend for sheepies and pompano this weekend thoQuote:

I read our local watering hole is open water now.... so time to dig out the boat and freeze my buns off, even if it's nice and warm out that 35-36 degree water sure makes you cold when it's all around you. add a little wind....but that is when the big'uns bite....ice-out
Whadup? (or rather down ;-)
Water temp has slipped back a couple of degrees (86 avg to 84 avg)...

Will that make the sheepshead start biting again? Yum, maybe my favorite fish to deep fry.
It was 72 degrees in Navarre Tuesday and 76 in grayton on Thursday...everyone saying it is upwelling.
Let me quickly jump in and cool off!
