It's May.

Finally, May is here.

Any last preperations to make?

When will you make your first trip out for consistent keepers?

I'm picking up a new jeep tomorrow. So, I have to get all the bells and whistles that turn it into a fishing machine:
1. rod racks
2. cargo rack with rod launchers
3. new kayak rack
4. tackle storage areas need to be devloped
5. Must find cool fish stickers!

seals + plovers =

Two weeks from today my hunt for large begins. Might do some salty fly fishing until then.

Froze my backside off last night at a popular early season Cape spot and had a blast. Started out with 10" fish and as it got darker, they got much bigger. Unconfirmed report of a keeper in that spot the night before.
I think I'll still be on track for my first keeper a week from today. If not, I'm going away for a few days and will get one around the 13th of May.
