Cold rips through Florida

[George Welcome]

Although not nearly as cold as the upper midwest, nonetheless, it is frigid down here. This morning at 6:00 I had ice on my windshield, and I can only say that I am sure glad to be home and not on the lake at the moment.

We are looking at a full week to come of near or below freezing temperatures. What impact this will have on the fishing is hard to say, but numb hands and face will certainly make things more difficult.

These sustained cold temps don't bode well for our population of Peacock and they will more than likely be pushed southward to the Miami areas. This occurs every few years and I think this will be one of those years. These fish can't tolerate water temps below 60f, and I think these will be seen pretty far southward by weeks end.

If you are going out, dress for it, as this cold can be just as dangerous as high heat.

Theres nothing wrong with that!   ;D  The more peacocks down here, the better.

I may be forced to retract my previous statement....

It's freakin cold outside now.  I haven't seen a single fish all day.  Not even a bite, hit, sniff, anything.  Nothing but wind and cold.  Where the hell is my warm south florida weather?
