I am with fL Capt too, I still live there and spend my winters in Fl. If there is water there there are fish there. I have personally caught fish Longlining on the West wall up to three days before Christmas. I have also seen Bluefins in Toms in January when we were steaming back from down South. The latest I have Rod and reeled fish up there is Thanksgiving but have never had a good weather window after that but I am posative if the water is there so are the fish.
