Its spring time in the sunshine state, and that means weed lines. Beautiful rifts of Sargasso weed blossom all over the deep open gather near the current edge, form long and defined orange/ gold lines. Baitfish flock to these weed lines in search of shelter. As in good time, so do the mahi mahi. Millions…
As the days get longer and the mid day warmth becomes a blanketing and stagnant heat, you know that summer time is just around the corner.
