    Y'all must be catching fish

    This place has been to quiet. I think the big bite has started and yall are hoarding the info I am like a sponge that has been left on the windowsill to long. Just withering away.

    If I thought I could catch a fish I might drive down for the day on Thursday.

    I'd let it warm back up.

    I walked on the pier yesterday afternoon and there was nothing happening. There were sheepshead and pompano on the board, I guess from the morning, but there had not been enough of them to keep folks on the pier. I did see one man cleaning some croakers and a whiting or two.

    Personally, I've got a lot of work to do for the next week or so, but I plan to start fishing later next week. It's getting close.
    People are shocked to see sharks in the water around here.

    If you see natural water taste it. If it's salty it has sharks in it. If it's fresh it has alligators in it. If it's brackish it has both.

    The water was dirty for a long while. It's only recently started to clear up. Only the first few spanish have started showing up. Not a dependable bite at all. Sheepshead are starting to show up. Pompano schools have come through, so there's an occasional bite - it just doesn't last too long.

    So yeah -- you can catch a fish. Several species will be picking up soon. You might just time it right!

    Considering how the weather has been, the reports are exactly what I'd expect them to be----not much happening. No matter how many reels I grease or how much new line I put on them, Spring and the bite will get here when the time is right. No matter how hard I wish, I can't speed it up---just like the cowboy pony I wanted for Christmas, wishing didn't get that for me either.
