Hello Readers,

A few health issues in the family had me distracted for a long time. Now that things are better, I will try to keep the blog current again.
This past winter has been brutal on our fish population here in S.Florida. The long term effects are unknown but the strong fish that survived will make for a healthier population in the long run.
Dispite that there are still fish to be caught and the last few days were actually not to bad in the catching department. My anglers and I managed to get a mixed bag of Cobia, Spanish Mackerel, Trout and Jack's out in the Gulf.

The gameplan is to do the same for the next few days, weather permitting of course.
Snook season is closed till September but there are reports of them being in their usual hiding spots. We can fish for them but can not keep any. Frankly this is something I have done 99% of the time anyway. Redfish have been caught, by yours truly, in their own cubbyholes as well with some showing up on the flats in Flamingo.
When the waters finally warm up and the winter subsides we can expect a good fishing season despite the all that has happened in January..

Tight lines,

Oscar
