It's cold. It isn't supposed to be this cold in southern Florida. Somebody make this junk go away! The bad part is that it's supposed to get colder....
I.rar reply :
yes it is. im not looking forward to riding my bicycle home from work tonight. >
GLADES reply :
Ah, come on, it is refreshing!
The worst part is that the bass are tucked in deep in the cover. I went out to lox Sunday afternoon and got blanked.
SirSnookalot reply :
First time I haven't gone to the ocean in the early morning to fish, won't be for the next day or 2 either.

Quit whining.....
This was Friday. Had about 18" since.
SoFlaBassAddict reply :
Being cold didn't stop me from going out for a little bit this morning. Had a fantastic topwater bite from about sunup until 8:30 or so. Spook Jr. for the win!
Not looking forward to the supposed 30's in the next day or so though...
piscicidal reply :
I'm from Minnesota and this stuff is cold to me. It felt like Minnesota when I pulled into Clewiston (south Lake Okeechobee) at 6:00AM Saturday morning and it was 44 degrees. Then, you pull into town and see the all the street lights with their Christmas decorations up...
Every decoration is a jumping bass swallowing a dragonfly! A little reminder you're still in Florida!
SoFlaBassAddict reply :
You fished Carmen's tourney? How'd that end up with the colder weather?
piscicidal reply :
It was tough. Only two boats weighed more than 12 pounds (often there's a half dozen around 20lbs). Alot of small limits weighed in, including ours.
It was fun though...I'll do it again. I learn something new everytime up there.
bocabasser reply :
too frickin cold! i fished mm41 yesterday and caught dinks all day. we had a whopping 5.83 pounds. the absolute hilarious thing about that was------we won. big fish was 2.8 pounds and that guy brought home a buckfifty. we got a couple hundred. cannot believe we won.
i hate the cold weather. weather channel says tomorrow it will be 40 degrees at 7 am and it feels like 32. are you kidding me?

Hopefully the wind will die down at least. I can deal with the cold. Just dress appropriately. It's the freakin 20mph winds right now that just suck. I've gotta drop an anchor just to hold my Jon in place right now.

All I can say is: F that.

Been there, did that in Wyoming..which is another reason I am back in Florida. (The driving in it part) Humidity makes a BIG difference in how it "feels'..
But I'd rather fish in cold weather here than in the stifling, no breeze, high humidity, 90 degree+, praying to go move locations just to get the breeze, summer here.(I'll fish it even then, but I am out for the count afterwards)
J Francho reply :
I'll probably retire in the SE. VA looks really nice to me, so does SC. I don't mind heat and humidity, but hate the cold. I deal with it, heck I even fish in it (was out steelheading with my 11 year old all weekend), but I'd rather be too hot than too cold.
SoFlaBassAddict reply :
The only problem you'll have down here is the lack of Smallies. Other than that it's 12 months of solid fishing....with big fish.
piscicidal reply :
Or do what I do...11 months in Florida, 1 month in Minnesota (go in July when the heat is stifling here). I get my smallie fix taken care of pretty quickly up there. Some fish from one afternoon trip (I have more, can only upload five)...
SoFl-native reply :
It was chilly sat morning on osbourne too. I thought the bite would be off. It wasnt. I caught a 6 and a 4 and weighed just under 16. Good for third. 1st had 20 pounds even with a 7.
SoFlaBassAddict reply :
Those are some beastly lookin smallies. One of these days I need to make a trip up north to do some fishing.
Great fish, Native. Aside from the cold, this is my favorite time of the year to fish. Always catch my best fish of the year around this time.

I have some awesome winter spots on Lake Clarke which is good if you fishing Osburne in a Tournament. Haven't fished them in a while though, but usually pull through in the winter for me. Palm Beach Canal is usually pretty good around water control structures and bridges with Carolina rigged worms and t-rigged if it gets cold.

That's my brother and our friend Tim on Lake Mille Lacs. I can just about guarantee a 15-20lb stringer every time out there. It's ridiculous. And those little footballs fight like crazy....more than Peacock, IMO. Almost on par with the saltwater species (Snook, Jack, Redfish). You know you were in a battle after fighting those guys all day.

Nice work Dale!
SirSnookalot reply :
Be going out for Sails tomorrow, good weather for them. Try and catch some blue runners and use a kite. No bait then do some drifting with sardine and trolling with spoons, feathers and cedar plugs.
SoFlaBassAddict reply :
Have fun. Wish I could head out tomorrow. Hope the wind dies down a little so you aren't getting beaten to death.
SirSnookalot reply :
Supposed to lay down to about 10-12mph nnw and 2-4' seas

Couple the winds with sub-freezing temperatures makes for some delightful fishing.
George Welcome reply :
Can't find the truck and boat for the frost here in Indian River. I have to be nuts.
SoFlaBassAddict reply :
I walked outside with the kids to take them to school and felt like I was going to die. Holy crap is it ever cold.
Now I know what a frozen pork chop feels like....
Captain Shane Procell reply :
I'll be fishing Holiday tomorrow...hope to put a nice fish in the boat. The nice thing about our cold front is that we'll be back in shorts and T's next week ;D
Dale thats a good looking bass.

My wife thinks I'm completely nuts...get up at 4:00AM in all kinds of nasty weather (hot, cold, wind, rain) to go chase a little green fish. And then you throw it back???? 
George, I was getting frost alerts on my cell phone for Fellsmere this AM. I'm anxious to see how your shiner bite on "Lake J" holds up. Always look forward to reading your reports...

Mike,
Duck hunting will put you in the insane realm!!
George,
Should this trigger the spawn up there in Stick Marsh or what?

Thx guys. That fish bit @ 1:45....weigh in was 2.
Bruce......That will work. PM me and we will hit it up.
FishinDaddy reply :
If this keeps up like today, I'm going to have to move south for the winter.
George Welcome reply :
Shiner bite will continue - any bass thinking of spawn at this time would have to move south to achieve - perhaps Panama.
3:00 AM - Present temp: 33 w/windchill like 27-28 - trip cancelled - I'm a softee! Just wish I could get back to sleep.

SoFlaBassAddict reply :
