We have been up in Florida, east of Orlando, in Titusville, usually nice
fishing in the Mosquito lagoon and connecting Indian River lagoon
Same high winds and cool, the fishing has been off for several months
according to folks who usually come down every winter. This is our
first year so we feel warm at 65 and knowing we have 3 feet of snow at
home on the ground with another foot coming makes it seem nice to use.
March 2 we are heading over to Sowbug, should arrive the 15th of March.

Back from 7 days in the Keys, and had a great time. Weather did not
co-operate though, and it was windy and cool with overcast skies mostly,
so the water temp. never got up to even 70°F.
Spent a couple of days on a flats boat casting platform, and my shoulder
and back dust protesteth much. Trying to long-distance cast in high
winds with a great degree of accuracy is almost impossible with moving
fish that are not moving in a straight line and are also and boat and
rod-shy, and all from a raised platform 18” across.
But I did catch some snappers when I was casting to some baby tarpon
under the mangroves. I cast at a lot of big barracudas and some
good-sized sharks, and a monster 7’ tarpon, but nothing was in the
feeding mood due to the cold water. Even the turtles we passed were shut
down.
The bigger blue-water boats checking in at the dock were not coming in
with anything special, citing the weather, wind, and swells as the
reasons. So I decided not to try that with a fly rod.
But it was relaxing and a needed respite from work. I really like the
Keys and may retire there.
