in the 20-24 " range in the upper bay yesterday evening before dusk.
Powerful fish, nice change from the schoolies.
Why are they here so early ?

Couple years ago I got ruined my first sotfbait of the season around this week. I expected the colder weather would keep them out sooner, guess they heard the resturant was open for business..........

I didn't see any bait last nite but the previuos day there were probably thousands of 2-4" silver/green minnows. The wind was strong so maybe the bait were low in the water column.

Not sure where your fishing but ever since I can remember the 12th-13th they move into surf range in Buzzards bay. Also, the first run of blues usualy have good size to them going 5-7# average, some bigger(10+) then the numbers drop.

Cotuit, 8 to 10 pounders on surface plugs Sat.

Why now? bait, water temp.one of the never ending questions and only they can tell us why!!

One sure thing, they get the masses out fishing so it is good for business :: , but expect some more company in all the "normal" spots
