Remember the old’ saying…….. “the grass always looks greener on the other side”
Having a footprint in both NY and FL I can tell you first hand that the weather in Florida leaves much to be desired.
Yes, it’s nice to get away from the cold and snow during the winter. Fishing however can be challenging as the wind blows almost relentlessly on both coasts and down into the Keys.
And then comes the summer. Here we are just in the first week in May and the heat and humidity is extremely uncomfortable. Was in the 90’s yesterday. Even early morning activities can feel like you are in an oven. And it will only get worse as we move into summer. In the 5 years I’ve had a place down here it seems to get worse and worse. Climate change. Even the locals say the same thing every year……... “This has been the hottest year I can ever remember”. I have been coming down to FL several times a year for close to 40 years and I agree with them. And fishing in the summer, in addition to sweating your a$$ off, you need to be on the lookout for thunderstorms as they occur on a daily basis most afternoons, and they can be some powerful storms.
I should have been back in NY 2-3 weeks ago getting the boat ready but life is getting in the way and I’m stuck down here until at least the middle of June. Looking forward to getting back to some beautiful weather, and the gentle south-westerly winds.
