There's a great deal for you to do besides fret as you sit out the forty degree air temps over Florida's flats. Firstly, you can go fishing if your angler's soul compels you. Just go in the afternoon, when the sun has had at least an even chance to warm the water. Since I'm morning-inclined, the winter frontal days will usually see me behind the word processor rather than the helm. With two cups of deep-brewed Colombian roast coffee under my belt, I'm ready to think lofty thoughts about the relationship between big bones and cold weather.Other folks- myself, still included- will find other pastimes, diversions, and hobbies when the water temps. drop into the sixties. They might dig into scrapbooks and albums and dream and recollect warmer, younger days when the waters were more quiet and jet skis had not yet been invented.
Intead of watching the telly, turn on the one inside your head and play remembrances of things past. If retrospection is not your bag, turn that bad boy inside-out and gaze into the future- make some fishing plans for the Spring and Summer! How about far away places and distant shores? Something to look forward to- trip planning is an angler's foreplay.
The trick here is to recognize that so much of what makes fishing is not the fishing, but the feelings and you don't need water for that!
