Got a call from a friend in NJ this weekend. He said they were pounding them off the beach....15 to 20 lb. plus.
I hope a few get through the gauntlet and make it to Maine by July!

Several of the NJ and Del sites are reporting a spectacular weekend with fish to 53#.

I'm thinking that they're 2 weeks away for RI and the Bay and 3 weeks + or minus for the Canal.

My yak is ready for the festivities.:D

The NJ guys had fish into the 30's from the beach up to late January and fish into the teens from the surf right through February.

Yep... and when I called BS on my buddy it snowed one night and I told him pictures of bass in the snow required... at 2am my phone received numerous pictures of bass in the snow....:smash::smash:

The fish never really left Jersey and the water temp never really went below 46 deg F.
