We might need to head to the beach to cool off in this heat in town. The water temperature at Bob Hall Pier is under 76 degrees at 10:30 this morning

I was planning on coming down tomorrow thru Friday, Since I bombed last week offshore I'm having doubts it's worth the trip. Crying or Very sad

Does it affect the offshore bite as well?

That cool water didn't hurt the fishing at all this morning! Kings, cobia and Spanish were thick all morning.

There has to be a good, fishable comfort window between the cold and the hot. When the water is really warm the fishing can suck too, depending on species, as the fish are looking for something cooler.

I paddled back to shore with a hundred pounds of fish on the kayak. That was a first for me, but when a second cobia shows up in the mix I'm not going to tell him to get lost, I'll offer him a ride!

I got myself a steel stringer and wrapped it around my waist so the sharks couldn't steal it. Laughing

With fish in the insulated bag or inside the hull Sharks wouldn't know it was even there, unless they can sniff through plastic. If they learn that trick, I'll be in big trouble.
