Cold Effects

After three days of cold weather the fish have given up hiding an moved into the shallows of the marina. The last couple of days the nice silver Papano about the size of your hand have been showing up on the surface, dying due to the cold water. Today, there are hundreds of fish in the shallows of the marina and a few exotic fish dead on the surface including a nice sized angel fish...what a shame.

Mullet, catfish, schools of fish, fish I've never seen before. There are also lots of Snook and a few huge Snook that are coveted for their fight and flavor...unfortunately, they're out of season! Some of these snook look to be almost three feet long and the size of your thigh.

No Sheepshead though....??

We expect the prices of local produce to go up dramatically and were able to score a box of strawberries and tomatoes from a roadside vendor, picked before the freeze.
