Winter Fishing Good Inspite Of Cold Spell - Fishing the aftermath of the worst cold spell in my 34 years here has not been as bad as I expected.

Beach snook and tarpon - It feels good to be home. I have been to New Mexico for the last month. We then drove back to Florida and made a stop in the New Smyrna Beach area. The Indian River and Mosquito Lagoon area are beautiful.

Hot Snook - It doesn't get any hotter than it has been in the last couple of weeks. I found some water temperatures in the islands as high as 92 degrees. Still, slick calm conditions in the morning can produce some excellent fishing. Live bait, jigs, and top wat more...
