Winter is tough

Winter time is a tough time to fish. We have had very little weather that is fishing friendly. Altho we have not sat at the house and wished that there was a windless and rainless day, it has been harsh and few and far between.
The S & S TOURNAMENT was no such exception. Winds were forcasted at north east at 15, we got to the spot of choice only to find winds north at 25. this made for adifficult paddle considering we planned for north east.
We fished a small reef that was getting blown hard. I threw a B&L cork lure for the first hour and decided to go to the bottom. i threw brown devil strawberry and whiped cream, amber , and the glow ch. the water temp was right at 48 deg. i knew i would have to hit the fish in the nose to get her to bite it and it did not happen. We redirected our search to a softer area and it was just as trecherous, the marsh was exposed to the wind and the tide was extreemly high for some reason. i could not figure out why we had a north wind and an extreemly high tide. must have been a moon thing. we found a great spring time area to kill the reds and flounder. they were not playing this day.

conclusion: Water temps at 48 fish do not move much.
lets all keep our fingers crossed that the rest of the winter is not so cold .
i have been through 2 fish kills in the bay system and all it takes is 42 degree water temp. since we are at 48 now i think another hard front will be the demise of some of our prized species.
have great day and keep the line tight.
we will catch something soon and give a full report
