Capt
Dave's Fishing Forecast: 2/1/2010 February in
Jacksonville, isn't much different than January, really. Most N.E.
Florida residents are just waiting for it to be over, so we can
get back to warmer weather. "Ya gotta remember, if's it's
under 50 degree's here for an extended time it's as if all life
slows down." There
even seems to be a lot less traffic on the roads. Personally, I
can deal with heat much better than cold. So many clothing layers
is such a hassle. I've been out in the 95
degree heat of a summer morning (yeah,
sometimes by 8am) and look at all my clients on the boat
and they're wet and sweaty already. And my T-shirt is basically
dry. But in the winter it's just the opposite. I look like the
Michelin man, I'm so "layered-up." While many of them do
not even have a hood on their jackets, or a hat on their heads. I grew up with a saying
my dad used to recite; "A shoe is but a shoe. But
a sneaker is a friend." My version of that same
whacky little verse is; "A sweatshirt is but a sweatshirt, but one with
a hood is friend!" Speckled Trout season is
closed for harvest in February. We can catch, but we can't keep.
Which is okay with me. I'll take a Feb. closure of my favorite
species during Feb. over a closed season in May, any day. Even
though we can't keep them. I still fish for them. I have too, I
gotta keep up with my Trout friends. IE: where they are at, and
what they're doing. And we catch other species, while we're
looking and hunting. I'll fish the
jetties (inlet) as usual. Barring any winter winds and high seas
outside the granite boulder protected waterway into the Atlantic.
And it looks like this year in February will be as chilly as it
was in January, for sure. Water temps, I mean. So, fishing S-L-O-W is the key.
With the objective of letting the bait be found easily. And fish
not having to "give chase". I don't believe any fish in
our area wants to really chase a bait, when the water is below 60
degrees. Please refer to my blog,
(www.jacksonvillefishingreports.blogspot.com) which is
linked via the "Fishing reports" on the top of this
page. There you will read about each day. And as I say; "Fishing
for me isn't just my J-O-B, it's a lifestyle I share with
other's." -Hope to have you aboard the JETTYWOLF |
