I have also never seen this duration of cold temps. All kinds of fish were floating yesterday in my canal. I counted 34 snook and 2 tarpon just sitting there at my dock today, hardly moving.

Our water temp is 48 in Ft. Myers. I've heard early estimates of 95% of our snook are dead. Ag crops are a loss.

This will be as bad as the big snook kill in the late 70's. As for manatees, maybe this will naturally drive them back to the south to the Caribbean and Central America where they came from. I think I read somewhere that they migrated to Florida comparatively recently - meaning over the last several hundred years. Could be wrong - my memory is shot - but that's what I think I read.

On another note, the guy running the marina here said he saw a cooler full of 12" speckled perch, (Crappe),this morning. Guess I'll have to break the ole MonArk out.

I have lived in the same house since 1978. This was the first time I have ever seen my canal with a sheet of ice on it.

At first I thought it was just old age and the knowledge that cold weather is such a major "PIA", however the real truth is I hate F-ing cold weather!!!!! To me it seems like this is just the longest cold snap I've been around in at least 15 years. Us Florida boys know the drill....two days of NW wind and cold, the front passes and then a week of warm up so we can do some fishing. Not so in the last two weeks.

I'm going to the bank tomorrow and borrow some money to pay my electric bill!!! Thinking of using "No Bones" as a credit reference!!!! Wish me luck!!!
