Herring in Eastham

I saw about a dozen on Saturday at the Cole run. And for the water temp... http://www.oceanweather.com/data/ Even the largemouth have been biting. It's all coming together nicely I think.

Yes they are! - a rusty old rooster tail did the trick on Saturday.

I know the unofficial start for stripers is mid-May. I was wondering how early people have gone out after they first see herring and caught what their best guess was a migratory bass (non-holdover)?

I'm thinking of starting a new tradition of beginning my season on the weekend following my birthday (May 3).

Johnny, you're starting late.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

I know. But I'm still pretty ignorant to these parts. My experience is the Canal and the Race. I've been jonesing so hard, I may start prospecting the Canal in the next few weeks.

I usually catch my first schoolie down here around April 25 and the first keeper no later than May 9. At least the last 5 years.
