South Florida continues to go through some chilling changes and not everyone, or everything, is responding well to the changes. Temperatures have been averaging from the mid fifties to the low sixties for the past week and a half, and water temperatures have dropped as low as 50 degrees in some areas.

As I publish this report, another major cold front is taking place with more cold weather on its way to south Florida. This front will be the coldest in many years and how our wildlife and fish adapt to the sudden drops in water temperatures is yet to be seen. As of yesterday, some reports of fish kills from the cold were devastating. This happens when unsuspecting fish get caught in waters that offer no escape to deeper, warmer water and lose their ability to flee quickly enough, and become stunned by the cold and die. Because of these factors some fishing guides must adjust their fishing destinations to take advantage of the fish that can handle the colder temperatures. Charters scheduled inshore in North Biscayne Bay may be surprising.
