Anything yet?

Anything at the west wall yet or typical first arrival locations? Water temps in CCB are still very cold.

I wouldn't expect much because with the amount of ice melt runoff, the waters flowing into the sea will be colder for a bit longer than usual.
That will generally mean a slower warm up of coastal waters.

That doesn't mean we couldn't have a spring heat wave, but I'm not betting on any weather predictions because their usually wrong.

I am a legend in my own mind!

Been going to the WW for the past 10 years on Marathon Monday....sometimes I catch a few, sometimes the skunk. I use the Marathon as my gauge, but I think I will wait another MONTH after this winter. The trout won't even bite my line......(in MA of course).

Wait, I saw a report from a local shop on FB that said water temp doesnt make any difference to stripers.

it was on the internet so it must be true

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

They show up at the usual RI spots 7-10 days after the herring, right on time again this year.

Ha saw that and thought the same thing. You almost have to respect their brilliant FB propaganda tactics to boost business though...

I have no evidence but i think a lot of it has to do with the angle of the sun. Everything seems to jump into gear when the sun is higher in the sky, i know it happens to me.

Everything is better on the rocks.

There's always the chance of getting schoolies in some backwater estuaries. With shallower water, they tend to warm up enough to attract and keep schoolies until the larger fish hit our waters.

The earliest I've gotten schoolies and one keeper was March 5th some years back. If you can find shallow waters, and the sun is high, and the temps are good, you should be able to find fish.

Middle of April after a week of warm SW winds. They are there in most of the usual early spring spots.
