This has been a cold winter so far

[BoatGuy]

I remember reading a long time ago, cold winter means more sand eels. I have no idea if that’s true. Any baitfish affected?
What will....if anything.....do for the fishing in the spring??

Yes, I’ve alway heard that as well. Going on 50 years, now that I think about it. Is it true? Maybe.

They also said that a cold winter meant a good spring flounder season . HaHa

Had the best winter cod fishing when it was coldest. I also remember catching flounder in the snow in February at the Shinny canal...............about 40-50 years ago!
