There have been reports of schoolies in Peconic Bay, Long Island , only 50 or so miles from western R.I. This Tuesday will be 74deg out so they should be showing...

From a freshwater perspective, I've had some fun these past couple of weeks with my son. Some bass, pickerel and trout.
Saltwater is another story. I've tried a few local rivers with no luck but it sure was nice getting out there in your waders and taking a few casts. Going to try again this weekend but will be heading much farther south to concentrate on some rivers and salt ponds.

so far i have put in 20 minutes of serious fishing (not plugtesting) and came up with 3 schoolies. Schoolies on a 10 ft surfrod arent too exciting  |

I have been catchign raibow trouts and yellow perch and sunfish. When do largies and smallies show up? I want to catch them. They are thrilling to catch, but not as good as stripers. It calms my mind because I have been Thai boxing and studying. I need to get out and kick back soon.

Joe, haven't hit the salt yet, and with working 70 hours next week I won't have the energy next weekend either. We can probably hit one of my spring spots the following weekend though if you want.

Fished every day this past week and averaged about 5 fish a trip, with seven being the highest amount, all 12-15". Even got a two for one deal yesterday.

I've just thawed out! My fishing gear is still stowed. This AM at 5 I crawled up in the space, grabbed the herring net and bucket and boots and nabbed a pail of herring. It was great to hear the sound of the running water and socialize with the guys at 5:30am.
Most bass this time of year are small. If you go ultra light and fish the rivers it can be fun but I will not hit the surf till 50 deg water. (couple more weeks I figure)
In the meantime,I have enough yard work and boat projects to get done now so I don't have to do these when they actually show up.
Any reports of Macs or cephalopods?

Took my son out today
We put our boat in and I took my son out for a few hours this morning, I think I threw everything in our box at them but nothing after a few hours. We fished Providence River and made run into the Barrington & Warren River.
I did mark fish though so I promised my son another try at his 1st bass tomorrow.
Wish us luck !

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
