Hey all,

Wendy and I are taking the Buggy (truck-camper) up to the MBBA Salisbury Beach Clean-up this weekend. The State supports this event by letting us stay in the campground starting Friday afternoon.

I am thinking since the spit at the end of the campground is the actual mouth of the Merrimack, maybe, just maybe we might have a shot at and early Striper or a Shad.

What do you North Shore Guys think...come on...give up the info.....or PM me.

Thanks

PS...I know, I know, I live in Hyannis and the Cape is going to have great conditions for an early season blitz this weekend and I am going 150 miles North...The things we do for conservation....ugh!!!!!

Haven't heard of or seen any shad or stripers up that far yet, but it never hurts to bring some gear and give it a shot.

AAAAAMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!

those are some pretty high hopes BP but Karma states you will be rewarded later in the year :)

I threw some cocahoes and the honey fished a curly tail grub lat the end of the state park bey the jetties with no luck. some friends saw sandeels in teh river earlier in the day and I watched a decend sized group of Gulls working a school of something (I thought Herring) a little up river.

grab some clams or worms. cod fishing is pretty good off those beaches this time of the year.

Hi Everyone!!!
Just got back from vacation(Vegas!!!) and was wondering if they are
catching shad in the river yet by the Rocks Village Bridge???
Thanks!!!

OTW fishing report claims shad are indeed in...
