I've definitely had a great spring so far. Blitz, I second the small fish observation. In my cape trips from mid-April to mid-May, I caught tons of very small fish, many I don't believe are migrating due to their very small size.
And in my fishing locally over the past month here in Boston Harbor, I've seen a tremendous improvement from last year. Now, a big part of that for me is increased access and range with an improved boat situation, however, I've already caught more fish from the shore here in the harbor, than I did all of last year... so I've been very encouraged as well.
And I've caught and seen (followers) alot of very nice size school bass, with 8 keepers so far and dozens of 26-27" fish.
I haven't targeted big fish yet, which I do at a couple of spots on the south shore from the surf, and I haven't tried the mackerel thing yet, mostly due to wind and weather.
But I'm very encouraged by the numbers of fish I've seen so far this year.
