First Keeper Striper of 2009
Spent 2 hours today in the fog and rain of Buzzards Bay in the midst of a feeding frenzy of mostly schoolies but did manage to put a 30 incher (10 lbs) in the box for diner.
When we docked we were immediately checked by MA Environmental Police and the fishing survey takers. We even forgot to take pictures.

My black lab and I were out there with you. Got one keeper for Mothers Day dinner. Where did you launch? I didn't see any EPO's when I returned. Funny how the rain stopped and and the skies cleared when it was time to return. |

I sure is nice to get your first keeper of the season early, so you don't fret about "When will I get my keeper?"
I was Down in Duxbury on 5/2 & 5/3 for the AM tides and I got mine (30") on Saturday, and my friend Shawn got the same on Sunday.
We also managed a few smaller fish, as well as snagging a couple of pogies in the process.
I am somewhat perplexed at the lack of schoolies this year.
It seems like we went from 0 - keeper in no time flat, without any real "spring blitz".
