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.

maddmatt 03-05-2010 01:59 PM

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!

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.

Slipknot 03-05-2010 04:22 PM

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

Back Beach 03-05-2010 04:32 PM

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.

Rob Rockcrawler 03-05-2010 04:59 PM

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.

HESH2 03-06-2010 07:27 AM

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.

Brian L 03-06-2010 04:52 PM

Bronko 03-06-2010 05:02 PM

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

thunder 03-07-2010 10:38 AM

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

mag minnow 03-07-2010 10:47 AM

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

basswipe 03-07-2010 11:42 AM

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.

phutch 03-07-2010 07:39 PM

started friday night with a 33 incher and 4 other keepers

Saltheart 03-08-2010 12:31 PM

Stripers arrive at the same time as the green beer.

PaulS 03-08-2010 01:12 PM

when the forsythia start to show

JackK 03-08-2010 01:30 PM

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.
