It's f-f-fr-frickin COLD!

65 today upon arrival, tomorrow the fishing begins. It is funny, we went to dinner in shorts & tee shirts, the locals (I'm guessing locals) were in long pants and hooded sweatshirts or light jackets. It was nice, even warm for us, a might chilly for them.

It's always a matter of perspective. My parents lived in Florida and would come visit in June and need sweaters. Good luck with your fishing. FYI...I did quite a bit of fishing in Florida in January while my parents lived down there on Lake Tarpon. Between dad and I, we caught 95% of our bass AND crappie fishing jointed Rebel minnows, silver with black backs, fished over the top of submerged weed beds out well away from shore. They wouldn't hit any other color combo or other lure, although I did take a few near shore on spinner baits. Reeling moderate speed with occasional jerks worked best. Have fun!

I must have lived in IA/MN for too long (all my life, which is just over 50 years now). 70-75 degrees is about my limit for being comfortable as far as heat goes. Upper 70s is not my preference, but is generally bearable, and anything above that is UGH - TOO HOT!
