Actually it's extremely cold water by Florida standards Rich. And Florida
strain bass typically shut-down under these conditions. They're a whole
different animal than the tough, Northern bass we're used to up here. When
a cold front rolls through Florida it's very tough to buy a hit.

That is NOT cold water. Jerkbait fishing usually starts to kick in in the
mid-to upper 40s in the spring, and peaks in the upper 50s.
