Ocean Run Stripers - Anyone Gone Yet?
 

Has anyone gone fishing yet, or has anyone seen anyone fishing at any of the usual (RI) spring spots?
I know about Providence River holdovers.
I'm not iterested if you caught anything or not, just if you've gone.
Thanks -
Joe

water has about 8 more degrees to go. you will catch 1 or 2 on the beaches, but they will not have the dark stripes of the sea runs.

I heard someone got a 50 at the Narrow River :hee:

Fished Saturday and caught 15 fish, with a couple over 10lbs, but if the last couple times out a a snapshot of this season, it's going to be slow fishing. On a day like Saturday say 4 years back, I'd have had to stop fishing due to my thumb bleeding and my arms aching, the winter holders in this spot are a small percentage of years back.

it was chef

on a popper

It was only 46lbs and it was on a cocahoe

Heres the pic , RHM put me on this fish march 6, 2009

:rotf2:

I was thinking about doing a story about people that can't wait to fish even if they are too early.

I bet if you head down to VA beach right about now you would do OK...
Up here I have no plans to really surf fish till mid May

man is that a 50" 50# amazinggggggg

Grining from ear to ear :grins:

I spent all weekend without a bite, then finally Sunday afternoon I hooked this one.

Wouldn't you know it, The WIFE made me throw it back........

Looks like you should've thrown the wife back instead.

Those are tasty with melted butter and whipped cream.

It won't be long there guys. The fish have already left the Outer Banks and are leaving Virginia Beach also so it shouldn't be long......
