“Tough Day on the Water” - Fishing Report From Florida
“Hi Yoav, Finally managed to shake off the northern chill and hit the water today for a few hours. Fighting a pinched nerve that’s a sciatic from that long drive to Chicago made it interesting. Thank heavens you can stand in the W, that feature alone put it light years ahead at times like this. Once I got the kinks out the time went along fine.
Weather wise it was cold and blowing. Even with a long sleeved T shirt, fleece top and Frog Toggs jacket it was still chilly. Between a heavy tide current and the wind the W held up fine today. My unfeathered W paddle made going into the wind a little harder. But I made good progress and figured why knock myself out to go only a tad faster.
After coming in I have far more respect for you northern folks. I was chilly and wet from the mist. I can only imagine doing this with the temps at like 20 or below. The whole time I was out it was maybe 48 on the water. By the way the W is the best kayak out there to launch down stairs. The new owners of the fish camp where I launch have added steps to the water. With the W I just drag it to them and off I go. Jeff”
Looks like it’s been a bit chilly lately down in that subtropical paradise 
I liked the part about respect for us Northern folks since the Charles River around here (West of Boston, MA) has been pretty much covered with ice since early December.
