Yup...nice chart! Just wish they had a few more species listed there. It's very helpful, however!

When I do not have to wear 6 layers of clothing. Lol
Water temp from 50 to 65 But that would be based on water dept. and the Migration of a particular fish. Here in N.E. Fla the Reds and Flounder will be there thru the heat of Summer. But you have to fish Early or late in the day as a rule of thumb. Also the Tides will dictate the bite also.:fishing::beer:

The chart is a GREAT idea, however, it is not very accurate for several of the listed species so take it with a grain of salt.... I keep a log of my fishing trips and try to include as much info as is possible on the days fishing, good or bad..... Try to include air and water temperature(if known), light conditions, tide or current flow, water clarity, bait seen, etc..... Over a couple of seasons this will provide you with a wealth of invaluable information and let you discover fish patterns and time tables(i.e. magic temperatures) Fish On
