The start of 2010 has brought a lot of cold weather and hardships for the fish populations. We had a string of record nights and daytime highs only in the 50's.I have observed multitudes of dead fish initially we saw Pilchard and Greenies along with ballyhoo then we began to see Ladyfish , Puffers, Grouper and Jacks then just this past week Snook and Tarpon . At that point I was very concerned but then this past Thursday and Friday we saw a lot of healthy large Snook in the Sebastian river. The amazing thing is that we continue to catch hundreds of Ladyfish and even got 1 small tarpon this past week. Also on Wed we got 5 Snook in the river. I think we are climbing out of the funk created by this record breaking cold front however I must implore everyone to practice catch and release until we see the results of our fish kill. Better days are coming !
