Same here, around the 18th or so, but I didn't start to see sheets of them until early May. Last year I got an 18Ib striper on the 18th of April. The fish hit a squid jig and gave me a great battle. Went scouting today--the water temperature outside was 40 degrees, the water in the ponds was 45 degrees. These temperatures I recorded at seven this morning, so they may have come up a bit since then. Shouldn't be long. Pink jig on the top and a dark one on the bottom. The bottom jig should be a slow sinker and the top one should be neutral. Can't wait.
