With temperatures pushing into the fifties, the fisherman were out. Today lines were being cast into both salt and fresh water from jetties, beaches, and rowboats.
I understand the desire - no, the need - to be out enjoying this break in what has been brutally cold and snowy weather. I even understand the desire to go fishing. I enjoy a day of surf fishing as much as anyone.
But water temperatures are still in the thirties, and with wind blowing toward shore from across those frigid waters, well - that is no day at the beach.
I'd much prefer to eat fish that has been frozen than to be the fisherman who froze in attempt to catch a fish.
Even warmer weather is yet to come, and with it plenty of angling opportunities.
For now I'll stick to enjoying the sun from a backyard patio where the air truly does feel like the fifty degrees showing on the thermometer.
