These past two weeks of back to back arctic fronts with icy winds and chilled rains dropped our 70 degree waters down to 48 degrees, muting the redfish, trout, whiting, drum, and flounder bite to nil; but hopefully this week’s predictions of warmer weather will revive the fish bite back to its normal fare. We can only hope and wait folks, for August will soon be upon us. (Special Note: Check Miss Nancy’s Bait Camp on FaceBook for daily fish photos update)
