I am going to stick to sea lice on Stripers= fresh bass. Maybe my excuse to fish more. Routine and it feels like Christmas.
I have been into holdovers on both salt and fresh in and around areas of Metro Boston since the first day of spring for years now. I believe they spawn in the Mystic River. Wish I could witness a spawn to confirm. None of these fish had a smidge of sea lice. Now we have a school that has come covered in Sea Lice. I dont think they picked it up in the Mystic, Boston Haba or other. Who knows where they pick it up. I just know that they are new to the area. Signifies a migrating fish from somewhere. Maybe I might get a tagged one to help find out.
