Wondering If the Cold Weather Has Affected The Fish Catching

We had a beautiful morning today - clear skies, sunshine and only a slight breeze, but "cool", again, for the 3rd or 4th day in a row. I met Russ and Olga Figman down at Sawpit Creek boat ramp and we headed up the Nassau River, making our first stop to fish some rocks along Seymore's Pointe.  We had only fished a short while with float rigs and live shrimp on an incoming tide when Russ's float disappeared and he had a fish on. He played it perfectly and soon landed a nice feisty Redfish.

But we had no bites after that so we continued on to Christopher Creek. The tide was still coming
in and we began tossing jigs and shrimp to some dock pilings. Both anglers were making excellent casts but we didn't have any takers until we got around to some marsh grass. Almost at the same time, Boom! Both had hookups. Olga caught her hungry Trout on a jig while Russ was working a float rig and Russ's fish ended  up being a nice keeper sized fish.  But again, no bites after that.

We fished docks along the Nassau River, docks back at Seymore's Pointe, docks along Black Hammock, the bridge at Sawpit and even Sawpit itself...to no avail.  The fish had just quit biting.
But it was a beautiful day and we did catch a few, so we called it a day, another great one to be fshing here at Amelia Island, Florida
