It's cold and blowy in SOFLA...despite it merely being December the 14 th and a week away from the arbitrary start date of Kris Kringle Time.
Already, the northeast USA is frozen over with massive power outages from a severe ice storm.
Sure, down Miami- way, we get off much warmer than that. But since all things are relative, 68 degree water temps, 50 degree air temps, and 25-knot north winds hardly means pina coladas and beach blanket bingo.
For flats guys like me, it's a slowdown and a blowdown. I don't like waiting for the start of a flats trip in the afternoon when the sun provides a bit warmer water before it sinks into the horizon quickly followed by a nippy night.
Times like this make me dream to better flats times in the spring when days are longer and the wraiths of winter dread the advent of their yearly death from the Summer Sun King.
These days seem warmer when I realize that my future plans include a Green Turtle Cay sojourn for some serious bonefishing next spring. That means reuniting with old friends Leigh and Ricky Sawyer of Abaco Flyfish Connection and Charters (http://www.abacoflyfish.com/) and new friend Wally Davis of the venerable, charming, and historic New Plymouth Inn
The truth is that "Green Turtle" is one of my favorite angling destinations in the world.
