Water temp fluctuations are playing havoc with Rollover’s fishing action. On upswings to the 60’s, the bite is good for reds, drum, and flounder; but on the downswing to the 40’s, it is strictly pot luck. The Specks must have previously known this was about to happen, because they have completely disappeared. All we can hope for is sunny skies and warmer winds for at least two weeks. Tick, Tick, Tick!
