First time in 4 years I haven't had a fish over 40" by may 10th in my local spots. Even the scattered 30" fish that were prevalent disappeared over the last week. Herring are few and far between. I know we get the good fish earlier down here, but I sure as heck hope to hear of more fish in this thread soon. Hopefully most released

No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.

Very surprising for Connecticut, and I was thinking of fishing there because of the saltwater license reciprocity figured I'd get the bigger fish earlier. I hope that isn't a prelude to what is in store for Massachusetts.

I thought it was looking good two weeks ago, but I am nervous now. My fishing is limited to a narrow area this time of year so it is not necessarily representative of other places. I do know that within the group of a dozen or so guys who fish where I do and I talk with occasionally, the results have been similar. Too early to tell, but it looks more like fall in CT which has been not so great last few years.

No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.

Nice catch Toby.

It's not the bait

It's the fishing hole
