Unless you were fishing for "holdovers" you were wasting your time. The first migratory fish show up when the water hits 50 degrees. I give you kudos for trying. When I was much younger I use to go to Narrow River in March and waste a lot of time, energy and gas money for nothing. Now that I am much older I realize that 50 is the magic number for fresh fish.
Back before the Bass got in trouble, like they are now, there was a run of schoolies at the West Wall in Galilie RI. Now that we have killed most of the breeders there is no schoolie run at all, never mind March. Give it another 3 weeks to a month and, hopefully, we will see some fish.
