Reelin’ & Chillin’ February 2010
It was a really cold couple of weeks here in the Sarasota area. With the water temperature dropping to 46 degrees at times the fish took a hard hit. For some it was too cold — Snook, Spadefish, Small Mullet, Catfish and Ladyfish were hit the hardest in this area. There was a fish kill for these and I’m sure other species, however it wasn’t catastrophic. I have heard reports from other Captains in areas on both coasts of Florida having larger fish kills, but I didn’t see that here. Yesterday, as the tide was changing, I did see dead fish in the tide line, however it wasn’t major. It was sad seeing some large Snook along with the other species, however with the temperatures being in the 70s for the rest of the week, hopefully, they will bounce back.
