Holdovers don't count. I'm guessing I'll have mine by April 25th.

usually around the last week of May

I heard today that a 50 was caught in Narragnsett last weekend, with sea lice, so we know its fresh.

I'm still trying one of these years i'll get one.

I'm hoping for May 8th.

I may have to move spots, I only got 3 keepers all last season and the 1st one was not until July, but I did'nt fish any of the fall run. But I'm gonna chunk with a vengeance come April 1

As soon as one eats my plug.

2nd week of May!:musc:

Hopefully on my birthday wich is April 30.

I'm predicting first week of June.

The first time I go fishing. May 10-12th

The first time I go fishing. May 10-12th

Sounds about right;
I figure Mothers Day around my way...

in 2008 and not longer after I start in June

Between May 15th to June 15th depending on the Herring run

Last year sucked. but I had my first 3rd week of May

probably may 26, its usually earlier but favorable tides are on the late side this year for me.

2016... maybe

I swear this is like the 30th year someone has caught a"50" n Narragansett in March.
The older I get the more amazed I am. I bet it's the same stupid fish they keep catching and releasing.:smash:
