Hit or miss! That is what rod and reel fishing is this time of year. We never know what kind of weather Mother Nature is going to send our way during the winter months in Florida. The best fishing days this time of year are the ones one to two days before a cold front and the ones three to four days after a cold front; they are usually the warmest. The water temperature can make a break a day of fishing this time of year. It is crucial.
The water temperature has only dropped below 63 degrees once this winter, so we have been able to continue fishing with live bait instead of shrimp. We've had a slow start to some of our fishing days lately, but we stuck with it and it paid off. Of course, if it gets cooler over the next few weeks, things will change. Until then, we will just keep finding warmer water and catching great fish. Please visit www.castawaychartersinc.com and book your trip today.
