This means everything is starting to eat, the winter species (Pompano, sheepshead) are starting to school up and chew,at the same time the year round species (redfish, snook, trout ) are coming out of winter water temp shock. This means everything is in the bay and hungry!!!

With negative tides and cool water temps in the mornings this time of year the fish don't want to work hard for a meal.

Low tides =slow Low temperatures =slow Low pressure (cold front)=slow.
