Thread: Water temperature hit 65, first king soon!?!?

With the water temperature hitting the magic number of 65 today, and the weather only getting hotter for the rest of the week, the first king cant be to far around the corner... right??? If I were in the first king competition I would be very happy with march 23 right now.

Yeah that sun will really blister the hide off ya ;-) lol

well Mr. John g did say the 22nd on his prediction....I am hoping to see it the 26th myself for the first king.

That's the day I picked!

65 at the 42012 Buoy It will way different at the pier like 61 or 62 I watch the Pensacola Fishing show Catchin fish he suspects the first ling to be hooked or Caught at navarre the 21st but I say Give it another week or so...

i hope everyone can king fish on the 21st

I will be Snobbling Cigs this weekend I would like to be out there when the first King or Cobia is caught Just heard water is really 65 degrees and heres a page I just found seems like has reports from all over http://www.halfhitch.com/stores/destin/fishing-reports

Such is problematic when trying to assign an arbitrary dynamic number (such as water temperature).
Just because the water temperature spiked up to 65 degrees at 42012 doesn't mean a thing really.
In fact it's already dropped back down several degrees...



And after this end-of-the-week-warm-up (to about average for the date) the (air) temps will again fall below average next week :-(
The climatic trend for the whole winter has been below average temperatures.
As long as that trend continues fish migrations and such will be 'behind' schedule.

yes sir a cool down is on the way again, at least up here, below average Sunday on
