Early Season Cape Observations
Some observations after six early season fishing trips to the Cape:
1) There are TONS of tiny, tiny bass around this year. I've caught more fish under 18 inches in my first six trips fishing this year than I've caught in the rest of my life combined. Has anyone else noticed this? Bodes well for the future.
2) Bluefish are early this year, plentiful & big. Got over a dozen of them in an hour and a half last week, all skinny but all at least 30 inches...2-3 over 35 inches.
3) Amongst all those blues and rats there are a decent number of keeper bass in the 28 to 35 inch range. I' think I've landed eight keeper bass to this point in six trips.
For early season fishing, all on plugs, it's been pretty good for me. I'm optimistic at this point.
Anyone else have any thoughts on the early season fishing?
