It was over 50 yesterday!:sun:

It was 63 here yesterday afternoon, but stayed around 50 on the water.

Caught some nice bass, water was 48 to 52 in most of the lake, it is a power plant lake, so it stays warmer than the other lakes around.

nice one, our bay water temp is 51*, bout 5-10 degrees colder than the last couple of years.

gulf is warmer, especially deeper.


RMB, are u planning on a big pine trip this year, was wondering how the fish camp did during Irma.

I sold my RV last year so I don't have a BPKFL trip planned, but they got wiped off the map during the storm. I am in their FB group and they have gotten enough repairs completed that they have a few campers this winter, but I would think it will be another year or more before they are back to normal.

Luckily I know a guy who has a house in Sugarloaf Key that lets me use it, going in March.
