Define early and late.... check you log books the bass show up within 10 days of a central date each year. This has been a snowy winter, but not a terribly cold one
. We have this conversation every year and there's always guys who say they'll be late, early...
Last year 1st schoolies showed for me in SE Mass 4/17 the year before it was the 20th... keepers came 5/4 and 5/5 respectively.. with a rumored bass last year 30" on 4/28... didn't see it. I guess what I'm trying to say is, if they're late it will only be a week and if they're early it will only be a few days.... my guess is right on time.... just like every year.... when they show up, it's the right time.
