long way to go.
Took my dogs to a beach up the Sakonnet for a swim early yesterday AM and saw the first big blitz of the season about 100 yds off the shingle...

Stuck my hand in the water for a temp check and it was high 60's if not 70 up there - out front it's not much cooler, maybe a couple of degrees depending

I'm thinking we're still running a couple of weeks late on everything this year

I'm ready for big baits to show any time soon but outside of yesterday morning it still feels - and fishes - like summer mode...

Picked up a nice old school honey lami I bought from some old SoCo geezer that I'm dying to christen, too...

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
