Mike,
Sounds like a nice warm day out. However your water is too cold for the next month or two. If you need to find some to time head south to 10,000 Islands, Flamingo or even the Keys. If you got time fish the canals with brackish water along Alligator alley or the Tamiami Trail. Water down there is usually in the 70s by February.
Looks like I’m heading to New Mexico in a week. Not warm compared to Florida but I’m hoping to hit the Cuttbows running out of the Rio Grande Gorge into the Red River as they move up prespawn. Supposedly there can also be a Caddis hatch there that early. Hoping to hit the Rio Chama and Pecos down out of the National Forest and hopefully out of the snow. Usually some descent rainbows down there.
The Rio Chama below the dams reminds me a lot of fishing the Green in Seedskadee- just its usually 20- 50 degrees warmer thankfully.
