Seems like it was a colder than normal spring and everything fish calender related was behind schedule. Do you think things have started catching up since the nicer days have rolled in? I'd be curious to see what an average water temp vs date graph looks like and compare it to this year. I think I've seen that data around somewhere too. Its usually for a specific area but its available for many different specific areas so a general regional idea could be had by looking at data from all around.

Fruit trees about to blossom, we are within a day or two of being on schedule..

I saw some yellow dandelions in my lawn yesterday. That and the forsythia blooming marks the beginning of active trout in local streams

Water temps are colder than this time last year.

Mike,

The back coves were 57-58 yesterday .
Middle of E/G bay / around 55
tons of bait .all sizes /from grass shrimp to adult pogies ><><

more south winds this year than in former years water just won,t stay consitent plenty of bunker just not any small bait around

Today's STRONG wind and warm temps should help warm up the top layer of water quite nicely... the wind is howling around Boston

i have to friggan mow today "out back" or it'll get ahead of me :wall:

the forsythia's in bloom so the bass should be AROUND
according to you's guys
