March fishing like a cold January!

We continue to struggle with record cold temperatures here in the Keys. Not only that, but when the weather does warm up it is only a temporary phenomenon, followed by a cold front that brings rain and more cold weather behind it. We have not seen a normal March that is characterized by average temps in the mid to high 70's and water temps consistently in the mid 70's. The Tarpon and Permit bite have been off as a result. It is a struggle to even find them except in the man-made creeks and basins around the boats. Perhaps April will bring more seasonable temps and better fishing. We must hope for a more seasonable warm up!
