Sorry Tboydva I am not from around the area maybe one of the others can chime in and give you some information.

Al it appears the weather has taken a turn for the worse and the temp is going to drop again.... Its showing a drop from Wednesday to Thursday and low of 32 for the 25th...thats a little disheartening..but it looks like it may warm back up before we arrive...I only hope that it stays nice for the remaining week and that the fish are active.

I know fishing early in the year in florida is either feast or famine but two years in a row of cold front fishing might turn me off of coming down when the seasons are changing.  Only time will tell.

Here's the forcast for Lakeland, I don't see a severe drop.

Well I figured a 10-15 degree drop and nightly lows near freezing could put a damper on things. You would know better than me as I have only fished the area once before and am not experienced on how the fish down there react to cold. It was my understanding that anything near freezing is a bad thing.  Please tell me that things are going to be ok!

I just wish it would stay 75 from today till the day I leave.

I have been checking the forecast for Orlando and it looks like a cold front to me. Anytime it is near freezing the bite sucks from my experience. But it is what it is and we must adapt. When you plan a trip this early in the year, you run a gamble. The end of March or early April  improve your odds significantly. But we will still catch plenty of fish......................Al

I sure hope so.  After a rather frustrating outing during our first visit I was crossing my fingers for a shot at redemption.  Last year the bait shop owner told us about "How people caught soo many bass" the week before we arrived and how "nobody was cathing anything" during the week we were actually there!  I would like it to be the other way around for us this time!  I will remain optimistic till the fat lady sings... but a stable thermometer sure would have eased my woes!
