I agree that the big ones are in but are scattered around. It has been an unusually cold May so I believe there will be another big push of fish once we get you few weeks of warm weather(I hope) There are many microbass around which bodes well for the future.

HAMMER TIME!

Well, we are roughly 7 degrees behind the average Bay temp (Lower bay) right now: Newport tide gauge, average for last 2 weeks of may is 57... it was 49.5 at lunch time today.....

With all of these micro bass people are catching, what is the general consensus of where these fish are coming from? IMO, these are likely not fresh run fish from the Hudson or the Chesapeke, certainly not in early April when the fist appeared but are more likely "locally spawned" fish from say the salt ponds or maybe the Thames. I know a few years back I was catching 5 inch bass in the Housy and have caught an occasional 6 inch bass in Narr Bay and the WW... I think its a bit encouraging

Any thoughts?

If it helps any JohnR, have yet to see any lice on any of the micros....I suspect they are all local hatchlings also.
