Strange Spring...so far
I have been fishing Narr Bay and the Canal. All I have managed is schoolies. Lots of them but nothing over 22".
I found bunker 13 days ago and have livelined all of my usual haunts and haven't gotten a chase yet.
55 to 59 degree water so there should be some 15 to 20# fish around.
I'm just thinking that the big girls will be late.

I hope the bigger fish are just late but the reality is that there are fewer of them.

the big "wet" has not yet arrived
it's going to happen a month late
i can remember not that long ago
that it rained like a S>O.B> during
JULY .... LOOK to Africa for abnormalities
when a huge storm busts loose from their coastline
it's on it's way here... usually florida bound
but like H. SANDY some go northward

Yup. We should be on #15 to #20 fish by now. Can't believe those pogies are being molested yet. I say another week. Good sign that some keeper bass are starting to be caught.

It is early so anything can happen but there aren't as many big fish. How are the Jersey & NY Boys doing?

I'm thinking next week should bring some decent fish. My record book shows that back in 06 and 07 RIRockhound and I has 22 to 25# fish in the surf in Narragansett between May 20th and 25th.

Everything has been thrown out of synch this year.
If you consider the unusual freshwater action, and late spawning fish, it's logical to presume that a similar effect could do the same to the saltwater migrations.
I only hope that there are big fish this year, and that all of our collective efforts here in the NE weren't all just a colossal waste of time. (What I mean is our efforts to be better anglers, practicing more C&R.)
I'd hate to think that anything we did (or didn't do) was only benefitting the fishermen down south. Only time will tell if and when the fish show up.

Its still early, I think once the snow melted everyone expected 20 pound fish to erupt..

2006 was a banner year for my pops and I, bunker in the river and big bass on em, topwater action was crazy.
Thinking that its a week behind for my usually spots and logs.
But any day now |

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
