Well today ushered in a cold snap that will bring two nights of hard freeze to the Crystal Coast. And after the hard freeze, I guess the next few days are soft freezes? Its going to get down to 18 and 19 degrees tonight and tomorrow night. After that the night time temperatures will be in the 20′s.
But this cold weather does have an upside. The fishing should actually get pretty hot during these cold days. Yes there should be some nice fishing for reds and trout if you can stand the cold. Right about this time last year a buddy and I had some killer Emerald Isle fishing. I hope this cold spell brings that kind of action back. It was cold as you want it that day.
But if I remember correctly we still killed them right into February and maybe March. So if we’re lucky this cold spell could bring in some excellent fishing to the Crystal Coast area.
And if that’s the case, you don’t want to miss out. Plenty of my friends were bummed out they never got out for some winter fishing action. I know its hard to believe, but the fish can go crazy sometimes with these cold snaps. I’m thinking Sunday may be the best day since there will be two nights in a row of bitter cold air temperatures.
What do the other Crystal Coast Anglers think?
