Are you thinking it might be record breaking ??????
Maybe if we went fishing using those little chemical hand warmers for bait--------
I hope it gets cold and stays cold until March. I think it helps the cobia run. When it stays warm and the water on the beach warms up too fast they migrate offshore making it tougher to get at them. 2 1/2 more months!
Come on now, jigslinger, don't jinx my sheepshead fishin". Actually, I think you're right about the water warming too fast---I just hope it warms on schedule.
Here's what the DI east end pier looked like Tuesday am Jan 7, 2014

That is the DI weather station in the background at the end of the pier.
The air temp has been below freezing since about sundown Monday evening...

Somebody down there needs to bow up and go catch something. It was 3 degrees here this morning and only got up to 20 with wind chill still in the single digits and that's too cold to fish.
I went on a mullet search behind Pappa Racco's this morning with no success,not cold enough......When I went by the pier I appeared that the gates at the pier house were closed, and so I pulled in,and yes they were. Will continue on the suspended annamotion search tomorrow.
I wish I could take a cast net down to LuLu's dock. I've only eaten there once but we had the water boiling with mullet eating French fries, onion rings and fried okra. It looked like catfish eating at a feeder. This was in early October a few years back.
