How do you know a holdover from a fresh fish?
Do they have "Best if caught by..." tags on them?
How do you know if the fish you catch in April, May or June wasn't a holdover?
Too many questions and too many stipulations.
All I know is that I already caught my first stripers of the year, and it doesn't matter which ones they are, even though at this time of year, they would likely be holdovers.
I'm just glad to be able to get out and hook up on a few.

It won't be long now before the BIG boys show up.
