    I remember a couple years ago in late november or december my Dad and I were "braving" the winter cold and wind because the whiting and bull croaker bite was good. We saw a family walk on the pier that was from up north and then watched them go down on the beach and jump in the water. We thought it was almost too cold to be on the pier, not sure how they were handling the water. I guess our warm southern blood can't handle that cold water like the northerners can.

    Lol. When your average summer temps are 75-80 and you grow up swimming and fishing in water that might be 50-60° at times... The gulf water in December is pretty nice. Worst we ever had it as kids was when the well went out. There was a small artesian spring fed creek behind the house. Mom would send us one at a time with a bar of soap to take baths. Fastest baths I've ever taken.
