Is it Spring Yet?
As you may have noticed, I haven't posted much on fishing lately. That is mainly due to weather. I had a trip about 10 days ago. The weather report was not great, but sounded doable. Had the weather report been right, it would have been a fun day. Instead, we experienced 30 knots winds out of the due south from 10 O'clock to 2 O'clock. That sucked for me, but for the crew that trusted the weather report for their vaction, it really sucked. That was probably the worst 7 day forecast I have ever seen.
I should have been a weather forecaster. Now you can be right only 70% of the time and still get paid.
I have been holding off on posts so that I can pick times when it would be great to come down to enjoy the Florida Keys Fishing Experience instead of the Florida Keys Weather Experience. However this post is just to let folks know I am still kickin'.

That is the kind of wind patterns we are having. So I am not going to be providing much weather advice until there is more of one color or the other. I will joint any petitions to incarcerate Puxitawney Phil that are being pasted around.
Marathon in the Florida Keys should be your next fishing vacation destination. Join us for charter fishing, fishing guide trips or our fishing 101 so you can fish on your own with better success.
Tight lines,
Capt. Dallas
