If it were not for winter we wouldn't have a spring spawn. Now I know that Florida has a spring spawn without much real winter weather,but the long cold nights only gives us more time to dream of our first spring trip to fish the spawn, we need to thank God for the GREAT State and Country we live in where we can injoy the great outdoors. I have enough home canned and frozen veggies and fruit to get me through the winter. Meat is a little low but I think I will make it. Next week is going to warm up a little so I may go in search of meat.
