Water temp started out at 42 degess and slowly rose to the 56 degree mark. If the weather allows, the magic temp of 60 should be realized by Monday or Tuesday. When this happens, the fish will come out of their doldrums and start to feed, so have patience anglers, the trout will be here soon along with the reds, drum, and flounder- TICK, TICK, TICK!!
