When and where will you start poking around?
 

Not looking for specifics like pole 13, the second rip, or spike rock, but more general. For instance I'll start the first week of April in the Norwich area.

i'll start right after u post your first big 1

i'll call u and you'll tell me kinda where u got it (like what ocean!)

then i'll go to where u really got it and stand in your tracks and pound the spot and tell everyone where i'm fishin and post pics of old fish cause i didn't catch anything cause the pics u posted were old 1's too!

PI Area around May 15th......

I'm heading out this weekend for a little freshwater action

I'll catch my first schoolie may 1st.... first big one( over 15) ought to hit the deck by the 20th... all from the Merrimack river..

Chicopia

mid bay, May 1

Tax Day:fishin:....the only good thing about that day.

I’ll start looking around the last week or March or first week of April. Usually start getting them pretty good in the rivers around the 3rd week o f April.

When the squid start to show......

second week of April when you give me a call :D

West end of canal around May 15. Don't tell anyone though, this info is top secret.

Freshwater bass should be starting any time and will peak around late april/early may, which will keep me busy until the big migrant stripers start to filter in.

last week of april, im kinda slow on the start. Might make a weekend trip to joisey to see if i can get a head start on large.

been pretty much at it all week without a hit but was great time getting equipment shake down and checking out my winter holdover spots.usyally arround st. pats day maybe 1st striper to start.early action for me means hopefully alot of schoolies and seeing all my buddies after the winter going crazy.

Started yesterday in the sweetwater.. :)

May 12th-15th ....the big river.

When the squid show in Jamestown

Weekend of May 1/2 - Buzzards Bay and Narr Bay

The stripers will show in Mass when my cherry tree blossoms, its been that way for the past 6 years....

I heard a rumor about a fish..................ahhh its to early to start that sh%$!

Its no rumor, a 50 plus was taken off deep hole last night.:angel:

Poppernesset.....the last week of april.....but I will be too busy trout fishing.......:uhuh:

must be a franklin thing, west end of the canal as soon as possible

Rod in the car second week of April. Serious effort at my favorite spots as soon as I see squid boats working off Cotuit...

Schoolie rod gets thrown in the back 3rd week of Apr.

I keep it real simple:My 7' schoolie rod,some soft plastics,a few small tins and jigs.If I think I'm going to get a little wet I throw in my knee boots.

I fish the all the usual early season areas in my locale and one that I have never seen anyone but me at.

started friday night with a 33 incher and 4 other keepers

Stripers arrive at the same time as the green beer.

when the forsythia start to show

Was out throwing plugs at the west end of the canal yesterday...

Not exactly looking for fish, but it was nice out, and some dannies needed tuning, so I figured it was as good a time as any :cool:

Might go try for some holdovers in the next few weeks, and I'll start schoolie fishing once the squid show up. Cherry blossoms, normally.

what do i do? the doctor took mine when i was born!

same as BB, except i'll probably hit the salt a week earlier. might go out this afternoon and try for a pickerel if i'm feeling any better...

just what my wife said
 

Spring looks extremely busy thus far
time will tell

First week of April in CT.

mike poke around today and see if i cant dredge up a crusty skanky holdover :hihi:

usually start the last week of march dont expect any fish till my aniversery on april 23 thats the way it seems to work out for me.been that way for the passed 28 years .

Last week of april at the usual schoolie spots. Corner of a certain beach. Mostly just to BS in the parking lot more than to actually fish. First week of May start to get a little serious.

we're talking about fish right? :D

I'm starting to get the fever again, prob hit the sweetwater in a couple of weeks to shake the winter, then I'll catch schoolies in a rivah in my town around the second week of May

very good Rock -

I started scouting last weekend. Big changes over the winter, but it should be all over now.

Early May. If there's a good shad run, the fishing will be epic.

my spring has started :devil2:

2nd week of April every day at lunch time for a half hour with my spring popper in the muddy river waiting for that 1st chase, splash or swirl. That 1st chase is better than any fish all year for me, even though they are rats without lice. That's when insomnia starts.
