Everglades Fishing – Captain Ned Small

Gulf temperature steady at 66 degrees. But it’s likely to dip tonight in the wake of this front. But how low can it go? All we need is a slight warming trend and the Big Girls will show. I guarantee, last February they showed at 68 degrees, when these green fish show, I’ll be there to greet them, ‘we are becoming one,’ don’t you want to be on the foredeck? When they are fresh in from the Gulf, in the early season, they don’t have the caution that fish later in the season will have. They are hungry and eager, vulnerable to a well placed fly, (unless you get screwed by the weather!) I remember a day last year, in the last week of February, when Dr. Dan Newman jumped three out of eleven shots. The smallest one was a hundred pounds. The largest was in that hard to determine class of over 150 pounds.
