Other than the three-day cold snap in December, we\u2019ve continued to have some comfortable weather to fish in. Water temperatures have been trending from 55 to 62 degrees, though I\u2019m sure they dipped lower than that in December. Unfortunately I wasn\u2019t able to fish those days.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I heard about and saw some fish that weren\u2019t able to make it through the cold water temperatures including a small tarpon in Doctors Lake. I\u2019ve seen armored catfish and tilapia floating around Julington Creek. These two species are considered invasive and seasonal cold weather provides much needed relief to limit their encroachment on our native fishes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Specks continue to be the best bite in the river and local creeks. Larger fish have still been in the main river but the increasing numbers of quality fish in the creeks seem to be indicating they\u2019re coming in preparing to spawn. Many of them already show signs of fattening up with roe. Jigs and minnows are still productive for them around structure and deeper holes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While I understand that specks are considered excellent table fare and not necessarily a popular catch and release species, I would like to introduce a little selfish conservation plug. Specks and many other fish can easily be caught in high numbers when spawning or preparing to spawn since they congregate in relatively small areas. Females tend to be the larger fish caught and more often kept because of this. One egg-laden female can produce thousands upon thousands of eggs so the more females we can keep in the water to spawn, the more fish we\u2019ll have next year. Specks and all fish are resources we share as anglers. Our actions will affect the quantity and quality of those fisheries.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I haven\u2019t caught a shrimp since December and wouldn\u2019t expect to luck into any until next month \u2014 and with that probably a few more saltwater fish. Sheepshead, redfish, and flounder will start to fill in with them. We\u2019ll talk more about that next month. Surf fishing for whiting is still an option for you this month as well as fishing inshore waters like I mentioned in last month\u2019s report. Until then, we\u2019ve almost made it through the cold, so stay warm, stay safe, and tight lines.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Jimmy Tomazinismail@floridanewsline.com I hope everyone is having a great winter season and staying warm throughout.
