    LOL! I may be a cold-natured danish viking, but I am going to have to go with Fin on this one:

    January, Tee shirts. Shorts, Flip Flops and Gulf Shores!
    Whoop! Whoop!" by FinChaser.

    Just call me spoiled by the equator!

    Got a chance of snow flurries up this way for Sat nite and Sunday. Another weather note: my yard( around here it is yard, not lawn) has been full of Robins this past week. They aren't called the harbinger of spring for nothing!

    Re: 'Early Spring' ?

    My wife and I talked about fishing today, and as we entered the van from leaving Cracker Barrel, a gust of freezing northern wind shot into our faces and chilled the spine!!!

    Needless to say, there was an immediate change of heart and we decided to remain nice and cozy at home.

    This looks ominous.
    The water temps (inshore) have plummeted so much, so quickly (more than 10 degrees in 60 hours) it could certainly cause fish kills. ???

    It's astounding to see the air temp just above freezing at the 12 mile buoy in the gulf
    while the water temp is holding in the middle 60s (over 30 degrees difference)

    Nooo! So many larval deaths will occur from these drastic flucuations. :'(

    On a flip note, fishing should be good in Panama City and Tampa right now.
